Free Spirit — Jennakay Francis

Diesa de Tyronmen escapes from a brutal master only to find herself on the auction block...naked and sold as a slave to an elfin master, Scanlon. Though mesmerized by his exquisite beauty, Diesa struggles for both her freedom and her growing love for the elf. Yet, the more she fights, the more her spirit grows entrapped. His heart has been wounded by a past love, and distrusting not only Diesa, but his own desire to claim her, he holds her magical powers in his grip.

Unwittingly, Diesa learns Scanlon bought her only to win a wager, and she realizes that her mother was right: An elf will claim your heart with his words, and your soul with his touch.
