The sequel to 'Secrets of the Wind' (Fated Mates Anthology), this story continues the storyline of Riezell Guardians with Captain Ardor Kahn, undercover assignment as a prisoner on a prison ship to infiltrate and assassinate the Storian King Alejandro. Her superiors' are counting on the prison ship being intercepted and relived of its prisoners' by a Rouge Storian named Lord Savidos.

Ardor thinks she is prepared for any occurrence but when the prison ship is hijacked and she is taken aboard Lord Savidos ship, she finds herself woefully unprepared and indeed terrified by the skeletal visage of Lord Savidos and equally unprepared to be attracted to Raoul Breva, Savidos right hand man.

Ardor is equally unprepared for their knowledge of who she really is and what she is carrying, unbeknownst to her.

Even with the undeniable attraction growing between Breva and Ardor, Ardor is not a Guardian for nothing, and she begins to notice things amiss when Breva and Lord Savidos are together. It doesn't take her long to unravel some of the mystery, but not even that major discovery can lessen the shock when she learns the depths of deception her own people would go to and their treachery in intergalactic politics.

With Lord Savidos help she will unravel a despicable plot to unsettle the region and further unscrupulous men's desire for power at any cost and discover the depths or her own feelings for a man unique among men.

Ardor's Leveche is another feather in Charlotte Boyett Compo's cap, set in a futuristic world, she further develops the beginnings of the Reapers and their spread through out the universe. She manages to intersperse a great story with very hot, very sensual scenes that are guaranteed to make you wish for your own Reaper. Another deliciously sensuous tale from a wonderfully entrancing author.

Synopsis
Captain Ardor Kahn of the Riezell Guardians has been given a lethal assignment-infiltrate the royal palace of King Alejandro of Storia and assassinate him. As part of her cover, she is put aboard a penal transport destined for a work camp. When the transport is overrun by Storian raiders set on liberating the prisoners, she finds herself staring into the wicked eyes of the mysterious and deadly Lord Savidos.

Prince Gabriel Leveche should be dead. After all, his father King Alejandro issued a death warrant for him, sending his son to a fiery execution. But Gabriel is a hard man to kill and he's come back from the realm of the shades as a Reaper-a shape shifter. Now known as Lord Savidos, Gabriel leads forces attempting to overthrow his tyrannical father while protecting his people. When he discovers a Riezell Guardian on the ship he has commandeered, he takes delight in matching wits with a member of the famed Guardians.

The Reaper and the Riezell Guardian join forces to combat the immoral stranglehold of the Storian king and in the bargain discover that love-and lust-come when least expected.
