Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order's motto is \u003ci\u003eHarm to none\u003c\/i\u003e.

But every healing session draws the two of them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003cp\u003eThings go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tiendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order - an Order far nastier than either of them can handle. As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war and love and hate trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTropes include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForced collaboration\u003cbr\u003eForbidden love\u003cbr\u003eDenied attraction\u003cbr\u003eMajoring in Yearnalism\u003cbr\u003eSemi-public s*x and other words not in the Bible\u003cbr\u003eRated E for E*ting Her Out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for Dearly Beloathed duology:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Utterly unique, hilarious, swoony beyond my wildest dreams!
