Particular Poisons — Fiona West

A meddling warlord. An apprentice out for revenge. A battle of wills neither wants to lose... Freida is in love with Jax...or so she thinks. When a spell gone wrong means a lost opportunity to claim him, Frieda blames her master, the Warlord-in-Chief of Gratha. Can their relationship withstand the force of her wrath and the depth of his arrogance? This short story set in the mixed-up world of the Rocky Royal Romances is the precursor to Working with the Warlord, the sixth book in the series. Both can be read as a standalone.
