Brutish Lord of Thessaly (Halcyon Romance, #4)

Born to heal
Nysa of the Krenaiai nymphs has spent the last fifty years trapped inside her well, until her waters are gifted to the surly centaur Lord Oreius. Instead of consuming her gift, he tosses the sacred liquid to the ground, and the spell goes awry. Nysa is transformed back into a nymph, but she can only survive so long without her well--which happens to rest on enemy lands. Yet she chooses to stay, because something in Oreius's eyes demands she coax out the darkness...even if it threatens to consume her.

The weight of the past
Lord Oreius has drowned his grief beneath a torrent of shame and regret. No one, not even a sultry nymph, can heal the wounds in his soul and the guilt tainting his heart. Though she bloody well keeps trying. He longs to find forgiveness in her eyes, but first, he'll have to find it within himself. War looms on the horizon, and when their enemies join forces, Oreius's last chance at redemption just might have come too late.

And the hope of the future
When Nysa is torn from Oreius, he'll have to fight for a second chance at life, and at love. Even if it means giving up his brutish ways.
