The Love in War

What happens when you two enemies have to find a way to save each other? But instead they fall in love...

Gorn: I was supposed to retire soon, but of course, the old Commander is gone. So is the Second. Now I'm in charge of the Blues a battalion that barely trusts me. And why should they? Our government wants us to sacrifice ourselves, to die in honorable battle against the Draenei. I will find a way to save us all. I must. The Draenei are something planning. Their Commander, Mira, is too beautiful to be trusted and too clever by half. They say she enchants soldiers. I might bed her, but I won't allow myself to fall under her spell.

Mira: This was supposed to be simple. Kill the Blues and walk away. But now an Oracle says that if I destroy them, we're the ones who vanish. Not just my squadron. My entire race. We've always trusted the Oracles. Now I have to trust something far more dangerous: an enemy Commander. If we don't find a way forward, both our people are extinct. But all I seem to want to do is kiss him and hold him. What is this?
