Blurb:
Forced by his father into a marriage he
didn’t want, Prince Alan soon finds that his bride isn’t the sweet, submissive
creature he expected. Morgane has the
heart of a dragon and beauty beyond compare, but she isn’t thrilled about the
marriage either. When black treachery
threatens the kingdom, Morgane and Alan embark on a perilous journey that has
an excellent chance of ending in failure and death for them and all of their
people.
Excerpt:
Keeper Kynthelig's long, dangling necklaces clinked softly
and tangled together as he bowed low to his visitor. "King Bowdyn,
it is an honor to receive you. I had no idea that you would come to
collect Prince Alan in person, or I would have made arrangements
for a feast in your honor."
The king's nose flared slightly. The stench of the prison
penetrated even these fine apartments. "That is quite all right,
Kynthelig. I must collect Alan and leave right away, else we will be
"Yes, news of Alanʹs marriage has spread throughout the
kingdom."
The Enchanted is available at most all online retail outlets.
