Description
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD Gregory Gallowglass is the eligible bachelor on the planet of Gramarye. The youngest son of the High Warlock Rod Gallowglass and the witch Gwendolyn, his powers of intellect and magic are without equal. But he’s best known for his heart—one as pure as it is impervious to love. To the femme fatale assassin Finister, it’s the ultimate challenge: first to conquer, then drive a knife through. Using her best charms both sorcerous and seductive, Finister finds a chink in his emotional armor and captures his love. Gregory drops his defenses—and she strikes. But then something goes wrong. Her attack fails to kill him… but Gregory still loves her. Now what? Can she still manage to slay him, even after losing the element of surprise? With neither side willing to surrender, the deadly dance continues. But can Gregory really win his assassin’s heart through simple kindness, compassion, and patience? One thing is certain: having finally found love, Gregory is willing to risk everything—or die trying.
