He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAurienne's perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon - nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThings go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tiendoms.
