An angry monk is tasked with protecting two flirty bards in this D&D-inspired cozy fantasy romance.
Blurb | Additional Information
Two hot bards and a disgruntled monk walk into a bar... tell me if you've heard this one before...
Taldesa was always a punch-first, ask-questions-later kind of monk. As a member of the truth-seeking Valiant Circle, Tala is expected to be level-headed in any given situation. But how can her superiors expect her to focus on protecting her new assignment when her best friend, Avie, has gone missing?
Cashmere Fantasy sounds like a joke, but Tala can't deny that the water halfen bard duo has earned their fame. Ameriden is smug, Casimine is charming, and both of them allure and frustrate her. Keeping things professional proves difficult when shadows from the past threaten to dim the bards' spotlight and an unexpected revelation leaves her questioning everything.
Tala was already used to breaking the rules... what was two more?
