Miranda's Heart

by Regan Taylor

Five hundred years ago descendants of Earth, living on Eadron and Martan entered into a war because an Eadroni accidentally killed a Martan woman. Over the centuries, in retaliation, raiders from Martan kidnapped the women of Eadron and they were sold as slaves. When Jason Dumont of Martan first lays eyes on Miranda of Eadron at a slave auction, he knows she is the woman he has spent a life time searching for. He buys her, brings her home and takes her to his bed. Never having courted a woman because of attention his career, bedding them only when the urge would strike, he is at a loss of what to do with Miranda except to know she is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. There is one looming problem. The Accord. While at first terrified of her new life on Martan, Miranda finds herself falling in love with Jason. Before long she is as much in love with him as he is of her. But she also has a secret she does not tell him. Miranda grows from a shy, timid, political pawn to a woman in her own right. She fears angering Jason more because she doesn?t want to lose him than of any fear for her own safety. Slowly but surely she comes into her own. Jason's goal is to win Miranda's Heart, at the end they have won each others.
