When a fellow member of the Brotherhood of the Sword drops off a
mysterious lady in need of protection at the house of Viscount Jason Ellis, he
agrees to keep her safe not fully knowing what that will entail. Once Isabel
Crisp learns the truth of her identity, that she’s the last remaining member of
the royal family from the island nation of Saldania, her world is tipped upside
down.
A plot to usurp the throne from Victoria after a marriage comes to
light. Isabel realizes rather quickly that if she were already married the men
would not succeed with their plan. Jason reluctantly agrees to marry her, but
in name only as he’s bound to learn the title to his brother’s son, the
rightful heir. But keeping his hands off his tempting and willing wife proves
too difficult and the passion between them ignites.
“I could have already cut you on more than one occasion,” Jason
said. Ever since their first lesson in fencing, Jason had wanted to spar with
her again. Today he’d been unable to wait any longer.
“Your skills are more refined than
mine,” she said.
“True, but I do not believe that is
the problem. You are distracted. We do not have to continue. Perhaps you’d
prefer additional lessons from my mother on how better to fit in with ladies of
the ton.”
Her eyes flared with anger, and he
suppressed the urge to smile. “I don’t think that will be necessary.” She
jabbed him with her foil, her steps more precise and strong. “I believe I
managed the situation, and I sincerely doubt those particular women will visit
again.”
He lifted a brow. “It was only a
suggestion, considering how this first visit went. I suspect you’ll receive
more visitors and likely some invitations to attend tea with other ladies in
town.”
“They were mocking me,” she said,
again jabbing at him, her anger evident in every move. “I believe it might be
the last time.”
And just like that, she was in a
furious battle where their foils clanged against each other. She met every
lunge, every strike.
“You’ve been practicing,” he said.
“Perhaps a little,” she admitted.
“But you have some moves that I haven’t
taught you yet,” he said after a particularly crafty placement of her foil.
She tilted her head, and her brows
rose. “I might have found a book on fencing in the library.”
A life-long lover of stories and
adventure, it was either become a stuntwoman for the movies or live out those
adventures from the safety of her PJ’s and computer. Award-winning author,
Robyn DeHart chose the latter and couldn’t be happier for doing so. Known for
her unique plotlines and authentic characters, Robyn is a favorite among
readers and reviewers.
