Warlord's Flame (Krystile Warriors Book 2)

It was supposed to be a simple capture and retrieve mission. Scarred Warlord Var is sent to rescue an empath with extra abilities. But Bess only wants to get away from Var after she thinks he plans to sell her to her death.

Danger lurks around every bend in this ill-fated mission and Bess becomes convinced that a mistake she made caused all the empaths to be hunted and killed.

Var and Bess battle their feelings for each other, their guilt, and danger and deceit on their treacherous journey to what he promises will be her sanctuary. This particular empath has a powerful extra gift.

In the end, the passion they feel for each other cannot be denied and they're forced to work together to escape with their lives after they take the final ultimate risk for love.
