Daryk World, Book 3

Her fever for him has always burned high... Daryk One Aknada Tyrus helped destroy Admiral Aramus' slave trading ship, but now she must resurrect her shattered life and discover if love can repair three years of deceit. Aknada is a warrior, her unique ability to fight men on equal footing a talent few women can boast. Three years ago she lost faith in herself after surviving a horrible attack. Now she cannot abide a man's touch, even the tenderness of Marc Gampia, the man she's craved forever. She returns to Marc's compound to restore her inner peace and hopefully turn her fears away. His craving for her has never died... Marc hides his own mangled heart. When he learns Aknada is alive, the fire in him burns hotter and more fiercely than it did before. He will do anything to have her as his wife. Desire forces her to reach for him, to discover his body one touch at a time. One stroke and there is no going back.
