♥Things are heating up at the forge♥
Resilience is the seed of emotional strength!
Passion ignites and the sparks fly when a border lord and a noblewoman skilled at the forge are brought together under unusual circumstances.
The Lady of the Forge:
Lady Winter has always had a curious nature ever since childhood. Even though she is a noblewoman, she has learned from the best blacksmith/swordsmith how to forge a blade. Her mentor’s eyesight is failing and although he was once the best in all England, now he is doomed without Winter’s help. The man has been commissioned by Lord de Grey of Castle Heaton to forge a sword for him from the finest Damascus steel. Lord de Grey has taken the blacksmith’s son in exchange and won’t return him until the sword is delivered to him.
The Vengeful Lord:
Sir Martin de Grey arrives in Ravenscar to collect his promised sword. He needs it to go up against his enemy – clan Dunbar in an age-old feud. Martin’s brother is imprisoned there and he will do anything to save him. But when he discovers his sword is not ready and the original Lord of Ravenscar whom he made the deal with is dead, he takes drastic measures. He takes the blacksmith and his daughter to Castle Heaton to finish forging the sword to make sure the work is completed. Unexpectedly, he finds himself immensely attracted to the beautiful, but common girl who doesn’t seem to be who she says she is at all.
Sparks will fly when the truth is revealed, and the circumstances turn lovers against each other. But with passion hotter than the fires of the forge between Winter and Martin, can something that started as mere lust turn into an undying love between them after all?
