Tar wants Dahlia beyond reason, but he's going to have to work to get what he wants.
For months, Targitaus has lusted for Dahlia from afar, not daring to get close. He can't drag an innocent into the murky intelligence war he's engaged in, one filled with dangers he didn't yet understand.
But Dahlia isn't just any human woman. Protected by a centuries old mage, Dahlia can handle an ancient Spentas warrior just fine. Tar finds wanting to tear her away from the irritating mage and lock her in his fortress on the Russian Steppes. But he's going to have to work for it.
