No Love Lost
Haughty and powerful, Hecate- a sorceress in service to the Empire- is being forced to wed a man she despises for the sake of peace between the realms. The day of her wedding she recalls the events that led to such a sorry state of affairs, including her first and final encounter with Leto, an assassin contracted to protect her and the only man who'd made her wonder if he could ever be more. On this fateful day, Hecate discovers Leto left her a gift; something that may be of use to her on her wedding night...
An interesting teaser story that loses something in the choppy execution.
