Fire's Touch, The Enlightened Species Book Three

Caged and used for breeding against her will, Stacy is not about to let anyone get close to her, even if he's sexy as hell and assigned to protect her from those who once held her captive.
Conlon Einar, an Elven warrior, finds the object of his latest SOSC mission—and his potential bloodmate—to be more hostile than he expected. Emotionally guarded, with an attitude and tongue sharp enough to make the strong tremble, the bratty vixen is both amusing and intriguing to Conlon. He decides cracking her shell to win her love is a challenge he'll accept with passionate enthusiasm.
