He studied her as she took a sip of his drink. She wasn’t a young girl in the first flush of youth, not one for maidenly blushes or stammering. He liked that—her slightly sarcastic control. She was brave, resourceful, and stubborn, all traits he admired immensely. And her mind was as sharp as a razor.

His first impression had been to liken her to a pixie, but that wasn’t right. She was more sly than that, more dangerous—like a harpy, with sharp little talons, or a siren, luring men to their doom against the rocks. He certainly wasn’t immune.
