Jack the Halfling is travelling back to the Duchy of Fleck, where she used to teach shield magic many years ago. On her way, in a seedy underground fighting ring, she encounters Xander the Buggbear, her former pupil. Jack didn't know one could use their shield as fist-loaded weapon - and that it can be that hard to resist one's attraction towards an unfitting man! In a far, far away land of Nottoofar... ...a former berserker knight meets a spacy druid... {Book 1: Leaf & Paw} ...a necromancer rogue is determined to resist her feelings for her former paramour, despite his delicious Orc physique... (Book 2: Dagger & Fist, ON HIATUS) ...a teacher of defence magic can't believe what has become of her former Buggbear pupil - and how hard it seems to convince herself to refuse his advances... (Book 3: Ring & Shield, ONGOING) ...a duke is stuck in a cave with a dragonkeeper who is harbouring a secret... ...a merperson needs the assistance of a kicka** sea captain who isn't going to fall for the tailed man under any circumstances... ...and the rest of the recurring characters of my contemporary romance show up in this fantasy tale, but this time they wield magic; throw daggers; have tails and/or horns; and Rhys has got green skin. You really don't have to read my other stories to understand what's going on here. But if you have, I hope this frolicsome story will elicit a chuckle and an 'awww' - or two.
