Summary

Ryia managed to escape being sacrificed body and soul to the men of the hills and their ruthless leader Brahms only to now find herself at the mercy of Lord Gavin Degrey.

They call Lord Gavin Degrey the Lord of War but must everything, including romance, involve combat? Was there an actual man capable of loving a woman behind the Lord’s cold eye or had he become the embodiment of war itself and what would that mean for Ryia?

A short life lived in fear behind the walls of the Keep or a short life beyond its walls and at the mercy of a creature who had no concept of the word. Ryia was just a pleasant girl, other than a base physical appeal nothing special and if that was the case why could Lord Degrey not stop thinking about her.

About the curve of her hips, the fullness of her breast, the way that her breath would catch and her skin would flush before she gave in to her anger? Why was it that he was suddenly willing to start a war rather than letting her go?

This is volume one of a five-volume saga.

WLord Gavin is used to be in control and have all the power, but with Rhyia he is something more… something awakens in him. She can call him Gavin when others are not around..

The story is told in 3rd person. The female narrator’s performance is fluent, her voice steady.

I enjoyed listening to this story about love and passion.

Disarming love!
