LORD OF DRUEMARWIN - PAGES FROM THE
HEART Winner in Fantasy Romance
Tag line: In a world of lies and betrayal, can they trust each other?
Blurb:
Lady Raell can
fight, ride, and argue politics as well as her brothers. Only being mistress of
her father's household keeps her in skirts. In Naed, the new Lord of
Druemarwin, she has found devotion, a kindred spirit, and a marriage promise.
But when a forgotten and unwanted betrothal comes to light, she has no choice
but to run.
Amidst sweeping
revolution, Naed must rally his people, fend off assassination attempts, and
fight against claims he's a traitor. Then he discovers everything about his
lineage and family is a lie. And his beloved belongs to another.
With lives and a
kingdom at stake, Raell and Naed must find a way to protect the innocent and
save their love.
Excerpt:
“Raell,
now is not the time—”
Aye,
it wasn’t. They stood in torchlight on an open parapet while assassins stalked
them, but this might be her only chance to reach him across that precipice he’d
thrown up between them, to secure the future they were meant to share.
“Does
my honor mean naught? When weighed
with D’nalian honor, is mine lesser because ‘tis a woman’s honor? Or because ‘tis
a Tolemak’s honor? Be honest and tell me that.”
The
world had gone silent; Raell could hear nothing over the rush of blood in her
ears, the terrible heavy beats of her heart while she waited, dizzy with fear,
breathless with longing, for the man she loved to respond with a word, a look,
even a blink. Even a shift of his gaze she’d take as a sign he’d at least
heard, mayhap begun to consider—
“Yes, be honest, Lord Naed,” said a voice she’d heard but
once, a voice that raised all the fine hairs on her body and made her innards
contract into a cold, tight knot. “Tell us both how much honor means to a
bastard who’s betrayed his countrymen and his blood.”
