Being ripped from her mundane life by a swarm of police officers is not what Rae Chapin expected when she woke up this morning. Accused of a series of murders she didn’t commit, Rae doesn’t have anyone to rely on. Except him. Alec Bronson, the popular boy who broke her heart all those years ago—now a smoking hot man—is her only hope of proving her innocence and finding the person eager to kill everyone she loves.

It’s been two decades since Texas Ranger Alec Bronson last saw Rae. He shouldn’t get involved, but with one look at his childhood friend behind the steel bars and her proclamations of innocence, he’s convinced to take the case. The battle to keep his renewed feelings for the curvaceous woman hidden becomes impossible when the true killer emerges once again, targeting the only woman he’s ever loved.

Life-altering secrets are revealed as the evidence mounts, pointing toward the killer who’s determined to make Rae pay for her past. When confronted with the truth, Rae is forced to make a decision. His life or hers.

On the eve of her 21st birthday, Maisie St. John discovers she is to be wed to the son of a royal family in fulfillment of a marriage contract. Unaware of the groom’s identity and outraged by the idea, Maisie resists until she learns that her future husband would be none other than the dashingly handsome Oliver Peerson. A close family friend and the object of her deep attraction since she was fifteen, Oliver has been chosen as the future king of their small isle nation off the coast of Scotland. Despite her uncertainty about whether he could ever feel the same way about her or whether she is ready to be the future queen, Maisie agrees to the marriage. Their platonic friendship quickly ignites into a sensual romance, yet Maisie is plagued by doubts that Oliver sees her as just another obligation. Could it be possible that this man would make all of her dreams come true, or did she naively agree to an arrangement that would leave her trapped in a loveless marriage for the rest of her life?

Meanwhile, a coup is underway, threatening Oliver’s claim to the throne, their lives, and the future of their nation. With mysterious connections to her mother’s storied past, Maisie discovers those behind the coup are in league with a terrorist cell that recently attempted to kidnap Maisie’s sister, Lottie. Realizing their mother left clues to a riddle that could change everything, the two sisters team up with members of the Heathen Brotherhood, an elite group of U.S. Army special forces operators, to uncover the secret. Will they solve their mother’s riddle in time to thwart a sinister plot, or will the dangerous forces hunting them across Europe finally catch up to them? With the Heathen Brotherhood at their sides, Oliver and Maisie risk it all to fulfill a sacred duty. Free on Kindle.

Reviews

The romance in this book is gorgeous and the emotions expressed by the characters are very strong, especially the love and longing for each other.-Shaz-Goodreads

The story intermingles the lives of two different generations of war-torn lovers, who share an inexplicable bond. The writing was such that it made many of the combat situations come alive and I was able to relate strongly to the characters.-Terry-Goodreads

I did not want to finish the tale but I could not *not* know. It made my stomach burn, literally, as I rolled to the last forty pages or so. This is not a romance in the traditional sense. It is a condensed epic tale, spanning generations.-Katie Kotemug-Romance Reviews Magazine Free on Kindle.
