A Malice Heart

What is a hero without a villain? King Malice watches his people suffer under his iron fist, neglecting his role as their leader. All seems to go as planned until a stubborn redhead comes to kill off her enemy in an attempt to bring peace to the kingdom, even if it meant risking her own life in the process. When the assassination doesn't go as intended, the two wind up getting stuck together. With each passing day, as tensions between them rise, Malice replaces himself feeling something he had never felt before. Will Drew achieve her goal and become this novella's true hero, or will Malice triumph against her?
