Lover Enslaved — Jodi Redford

Sometimes love is the only prize worth stealing…

Thieves of Aurion, Book 1

Mara Sheppard has no love for the Fae, but to free her brother from prison, she'll do whatever the treacherous Queen Nalia asks. Even kidnap Dashael Rhyder, a womanizing thief.

She should have known the deal would go sour.

It's almost too easy to bait and trap Dashael. Resisting his potent Fae allure isn't. Especially since Nalia's unexpected demand for a missing magical rune means Mara will have to hold strong far longer than she'd planned.

Dashael's best shot at escaping? Seduce her. If he can survive a few dozen of his closest enemies out for blood and the queen's scheme to make him her personal stud…he might just make it.

Then his game of seduction trips over a snag named Mara, and he falls. Hard. For a commitment-phobic thief, love might as well be a prison sentence. Yet the idea of losing her makes him miserable.

Mara can't deny that her enemy has stolen her heart. But their love is about to be tested by a lifetime of secrets. The risk may not be worth it. Especially if a life together means death for one of them.
