Keep your friends close…
But your enemies closer?
In order to find a legendary treasure map, mercenary Louve of Mei Solis
must infiltrate his enemy’s fortress under the guise of a servant. There,
Louve meets beautiful maiden Biedeluue, a fellow servant with her own hidden
agenda…to save her sister from the malevolent Lord’s clutches! Their
high-stakes missions may be at odds with one other, but their attraction
cannot be denied even in this most dangerous of situations…

Louve had his arms full to brimming around trouble. There was no other word for the woman who’d completely dismantled a kitchen, his authority and who, though her skin was a shade closer to grey than the vibrant rose hue from before, was, none the less, absolutely breathtakingly riveting.
Anything less and his body would have immediately reacted differently.
Caught her. Released her. Not clutched her closer like a boy feeling a
woman’s breast for the first time. Not gallantly catering to her inebriated
state, ordering her a throne to sit upon, like some knight of lore. Not
still holding her close when his superior, who’d hired him on a probationary
period, was standing in front of them, his brow arched over a pointed gaze.
A gaze he’d have perfected as his position demanded, but which Louve could
belittle and demean with a swift…
He wasn’t a warrior. Louve immediately hunched. The woman in his arms
slipped and he had one choice. One. To keep supporting her and reveal his
true strength that came about after years of sword training, or…
Louve dropped her.
Biedeluue was going to punch the stranger. Just as soon as her head stopped spinning and her rear stopped stinging. She would get off this floor, grab a goblet and knock it solidly on to that jawline.
Shouting. Different voices. One over the other. Steward’s, certainly, and
Tess, who was foolishly defending her. Her feet weren’t working. Why were
her feet going in opposite directions? The stranger’s legs were annoyingly
steady.
They were also ominously quiet.
He
was silent. That sneaky bastard. Getting her and her friend in trouble. She
heard him ordering people about, but now the Steward was in the kitchen he’d
gone mute while the rest of them looked contrite. When she finally stood, she would knock him down faster than a drunken
Galen.
What she needed was something…a chair! Biedeluue crawled to it.
‘Stay down,’ the stranger hissed.
Like hell she would.
