Oliver isn't someone I'd ever want romantically. When I look at him, I think one thing-enemy. Yes, our kingdoms are at peace now, but that doesn't change what he's done or his reputation as a ruthless knight.

Until he catches me as I'm falling. Something sparks between us. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I try to ignore him. But then he's there when I least expect him. In my dreams.

I've fought to be treated equally. What I don't need is someone else trying to protect me. Three brothers are enough.

None of my training or magical abilities prepare me for the feelings I have when I'm around Oliver. The ones I shouldn't give in to.

Yet, I can't help but desire him. He's not the man I thought he was. The more time I spend with him, the more I want him.

My brothers aren't going to be happy. Oliver is the last man in the realm I should be with.

Too bad I do what I want. I'll deal with the consequences which are sure to come.
