A Flame of Tender Love

Aeromancy Academy Prefect Kristoff Sturm is impatient to cherish his future wife. One problem, though-he's never met her before.

Kris wants more than anything to spark joy in his life despite his parents, the Headmaster and Headmistress, doing everything in their power to put out his spark. When he meets Sylvie Barnes, the woman his parents have chosen for him to marry, he finds a battered, timid, and beautiful young lady who, just like him, has been wrangled into a union through no choice of her own. Can he convince her of her inner strength and win her trust before his parents' cruel Trials drown the flames of love building rapidly between them?

Sylvie Barnes expected a cold, iron-walled mystery when she met her intended, Prefect Fire Starter, for the first time. As a Sturm, he should have been rigid and insistent on perfection from her. What she finds instead is a kind man full of hidden warmth and who will stop at nothing to make her as happy as possible in her new life. But the strict Headmaster and Headmistress have made it their goal to put Sylvie to the test of a lifetime in order to prove her loyalty to her new family. Will Sylvie-and her budding trust in her warm-hearted fiance- survive the Trials intact?
