Claiming Lord Thuran

Book excerpt: From award-winning author Lisa Kumar comes a contemporary fantasy romance that features a smokin'-hot elven lord and his newly appointed human personal assistant. Abby will have to wrangle the creatures residing on her elven lord boss' estate while fighting her attraction to him. In a world where elven people have revealed themselves and are now some of the greatest pillars of society, the all-too-human Abby finds herself fresh out of college. She needs money—and quickly. Her mom’s life depends on it. Too bad it means working for the handsome-as-all-get-out Lord Thuran, one of the elven elites. The coolly suave elf twists her insides with desire while leaving her awash in confusion. What’s a modern gal to do in the face of all her hormones—and his? Lord Thuran knows what he needs, and Abigail Franklin definitely is not it. He needs an elven mate. His sanity and life count on him forming a mindbond. So bride-hunting he will go, even though the high-class beauties of his world see elven men as a duty, a bank account. How unfortunate that all he can think of is Abby. Her scent, her taste. His mind wants to claim her as much as his body does. Abby and Thuran's developing relationship will have to withstand a household full of outlandish fae creatures. But can it withstand an enemy who seeks to destroy Thuran—mind and body? This is a contemporary fantasy romance set in a slightly alternative Earth where smoking-hot elves are the bastions of society and we mere humans just want to bask in their presence.
