Larksong Hammerstrike has always been just the younger sister
of Princess Aryanna. Never quite as pretty or as smart, always
lacking, a mere empath whose power gets her into trouble more
often than not. But at Carnalval, the festival of all things sexual,
she unleashes her sensual side for a night in the arms of a
masked stranger. When morning dawns, Lark can't resist a peek
beneath the mask of her lover and is once again crushed by fate.
The man of her lusty adventure is none other than the future
Lord of the High Elves and destined to marry her sister. As heir

Excerpt from Tempted by the Storm...
There was only one word that could describe the creature
standing before him. Wonderful.
“Did you say something?” the woman whispered.
He shook his head. “Nothing, I just can’t believe my luck. You
really are real and here with me.”
She smiled, but her smile didn’t extend to her eyes.
Before another heartbeat passed or another breath taken, he
stood at her side. With tenderness, he gazed into her gentle,
masked face and took both of her hands in his. He was humbled
as her fingers trembled even more than his own did. “We don’t
have to do this if you’d rather not.”
She smiled wider, and her eyes gleamed with mischief. “I
suppose we might as well. After all, we’re already here, and
you’re at least halfway undressed.”
Sliding his hands up her arms and around her shoulders to her
back, Sarco felt for and found the clasps holding her gown
together. With the flick of a wrist, they gave way, and with a
swish, the silky fabric fell to her hips exposing lush, rose-tipped
breasts. Just the right size to hold in both hands, to fondle, to
caress, to taste.
“Hmm, it seems you’re halfway undressed yourself.”
