The Gardener and the Water-horse

By Mallory Dunlin

I swore never to love again. So why can't I resist the one man who's too deadly to touch?

After sacrificing everything for a new beginning, I expected to be alone forever. It was better that way. Safer.

All that changed when I looked at my reflection in the lake and saw the face of an elemental water-horse instead.

If I touch him, I might die. If I let myself follow the forbidden lure of his voice, not even a sorcerer can save me. Behind those ice-blue eyes is a possessive, merciless immortal.

He says all he wants is the sound of my voice. But I know that won't ever be enough-not for him and not for me.

I've heard the stories-but it's not the risk of drowning that scares me.

It's the risk of losing my heart.

"The Gardener & the Water-horse" is a standalone high fantasy romance, featuring an immortal, shapeshifting elemental who would sacrifice anything to claim the woman he desires-and who won't ever let go once she says "yes".
