The Beginning: A Natura Elementals Novella Duology

by Sloane Calder

  Elspeth Burkov. Elspeth Lennox Burkov.

  The name tasted bitter. Wrong. Lonely.

  How could she marry a man she’d never met? What if she didn’t like him? What if she could never…love him? As quickly as it had come, the storm stopped like the sky’s drain had been plugged, her dream dying as fast.

  The life she’d envisioned, the future she’d hoped for…vanished. The night her whole world had changed, her twelfth birthday, Lach had come to her rescue. He’d believed in her, saved her sanity, done nothing but love and support her. Her oldest brother was the reason she’d had the confidence to carry on.

  He’d saved her.

  And it was her turn to save him.

  Elspeth Lennox Burkov.

  A name that nearly ripped her insides to shreds, but a reality she’d have to accept.

  The End

  Download The Call of Fire, where Elspeth falls for Aleron, a man bent on destroying her family.
