The Spell-Bound Scholar
关于此电子书
Gregory Gallowglass is the eligible bachelor on the planet of Gramarye. The youngest son of the High Warlock Rod Gallowglass and the witch Gwendolyn, his powers of intellect and magic are without equal.
But he’s best known for his heart—one as pure as it is impervious to love. To the femme fatale assassin Finister, it’s the ultimate challenge: first to conquer, then drive a knife through.
Using her best charms both sorcerous and seductive, Finister finds a chink in his emotional armor and captures his love. Gregory drops his defenses—and she strikes.
But then something goes wrong. Her attack fails to kill him… but Gregory still loves her. Now what? Can she still manage to slay him, even after losing the element of surprise?
With neither side willing to surrender, the deadly dance continues. But can Gregory really win his assassin’s heart through simple kindness, compassion, and patience? One thing is certain: having finally found love, Gregory is willing to risk everything—or die trying.
作者简介
Christopher Stasheff (1944 – 2018) spent his early childhood in Mount Vernon, New York, but spent the rest of his formative years in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compromise by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too. He tended to prescript his life, but couldn’t understand why other people never get their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He seeks refuge in fantasy worlds of his own making, and hopes you enjoy them as much as he does.
Christopher died in 2018 from Parkinson’s Disease. He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, willingness to guide and mentor any who asked, and for his witty sense of humor. His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.
