Fearless Pursuit — Jean Hart Stewart

Rurik's pointed ears betray the elfin heritage he is content to ignore but when he meets the beautiful singer Reina his world turns upside down. To claim her -- and save her from a sadistic villain set on owning her talents -- he must learn to accept his elfin powers and the responsibilities that come with them.

His life changes drastically, the passion he has for the destined love of his life and the boundless wonder he discovers in his elfin abilities eclipsing all he previously thought important. Now, he only has to defeat the villain and win his fair maiden's hand in marriage. Too bad elfin destiny all too often requires a lot of determination and a little luck to win the day.

Inside Scoop: Rurik's story deals, in part, with the problems of two hurting children whose stories may affect some readers.
