In a final act of treachery, her captor wiped her memory clean in an effort to conceal his evil. Now she's free and working to rebuild her life, but what use is a harbinger who can no longer see the future?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaylon, the rebellion's fiercest warrior, has known nothing but hardship and pain. Rescuing Chandar awakened feelings he thought long dead within his soul, yet she sees him as her champion, a protector to drive back her fear. He, on the other hand, is tormented by inappropriate thoughts and desires that would horrify her. He has never wanted a female as much as he wants Chandar, but he knows it's impossible. She's much too fragile, too vulnerable, to see him as anything but her defender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote to Readers: This book contains detailed descriptions of sizzling passion only suitable for mature readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Cyndi: Battle Born is a spinoff of my Shadow Assassins series. However, it's not necessary to have read the earlier books to enjoy these new stories. All of my books are cross-genre romances. They blend elements of science-fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romance. The Battle Born books lean a bit more toward sci-fi, but there is still plenty of steamy romance.
