But 'twas not the one Trystan Delanyea sought. The village seer would have him wed, not to an icy Norman beauty, but to the saucy and sensuous Mair, who'd baited and teased him since childhood, and now offered a most inconvenient--and thoroughly inescapable—passion!
Though forthright and free, Mair of Craig Fawr had a secret. Sir Trystan Delanyea had held her heart hostage forever. Yet he was the son of a powerful baron and she a mere brewer of ale. And love they shared would be but fleeting. But how could she turn away the one man she knew was her destiny?
Award-winning author Margaret Moore actually began her career at the age of eight, when she and a friend concocted stories featuring a lovely, spirited damsel and a handsome, misunderstood thief nicknamed "The Red Sheik." Unknowingly pursuing her destiny, Margaret graduated with distinction from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. During that time, she also became a Leading Wren with the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, where she learned to use a variety of weapons and had the weepy experience of being tear-gassed. In addition to being a wife and mother of two, she's also been an award-winning public speaker, synchronized swimmer, an archer, and studied fencing and ballroom dancing.
Margaret sold her first historical romance and the premiere book of her Warrior series, A WARRIOR'S HEART, to Harlequin Historicals® in 1991. Since that time, she's written over 25 historical romance novels and novellas. She has also written for Avon Books, as well as a young adult historical romance for HarperCollins Childrens Books. She now writes for Harlequin's new single title imprint, HQN.
Her books have been published in France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, Brazil, Korea, Japan, Sweden, the Netherlands, Russia, Poland and India.
Gostei de ler este romance. Paixão vassaladora, sem dúvida ❤️❤️! Achei também interessante os paralelismos mencionados no livro entre gauleses e normandos 🤔🤔!
Não consegui levar a sério um livro ambientado na Idade Média com uma heroína desmotivada e ainda assim promíscua para os padrões da época (e sem uma explicação plausível por isso) e um heroi água-com-açúcar.
Super super angsty with constant back-and-forth wordplay. I’m sorry but Trystan is such an idiot, probably one of the biggest fool of a hero out there. I only like Mair the most in this story as she’s the only likeable one from the lot. And jeez, why does everyone get around with literally everyone in this book?!
