The Wolf's Flower

Beware the beauty of a rare flower and the luster of a sparkling rock.
Both hold secrets of death and power, and the key where true love and magic interlock.

Harboring secrets was a dangerous game. If the wrong people were to get their hands on the knowledge, it would ruin me. So when Dolan Roc showed up at my doorstep inquiring about my flowers, unease had my hackles raised. He was willing to pay any price for a single flower for his daughter, so how could I refuse? I didn't like it, but she was just an ordinary woman, so what could it hurt? After all, he promised me anything I want for it. But then I saw her. The wild beauty with a headstrong attitude and a sharp mind consumed me with a burning desire to have her. She'd learn my secret, but that was a chance I was willing to take. I cultivated the most beautiful flowers in the world.

But none of mine compared to Lucy Roc, and I must have her.

Rafe White was an irritating, obnoxious, egotistical man. He was also drop-dead-gorgeous, and he wanted me, though even that boiled my blood with anger. How could he ask for such a price and over a simple flower, no less? But his intensity and desire pulled me in and I couldn't resist the heat I felt when he was near. His flowers were his life, along with other secrets I'd sworn to keep. But danger and evil lurked around unsuspecting corners, leaving my heart shattered and broken. But if I knew anything, it was that Rafe and I were meant to be. I'd do anything to get him back, including giving up my most prized possessions.

Rafe was worth the price, and I had to make him remember what we were. Or die trying.
