Blurb:
The Light brought her
to him, but does he have the faith to make her his queen?
For twenty years, Avant plotted revenge
against the dark king, but when a mysterious woman suddenly appears, everything
changes. Although his prophetic Gift reveals she's the Seed of Light chosen to
restore the Crown, his overwhelming attraction to the women threatens his
long-held plan for revenge and two decades of fidelity.
Abby Randall is inexplicably
transported from Dallas to the medieval land of Jastain. There she meets Avant,
who claims she's the foretold champion of his people. While the hot guy has her
hormones pumping, his crazy talk of defeating an evil king leaves questions to
his sanity. Through his supernatural Gift, Avant transplants his memories into
her, but neither are prepared for how their hearts intertwine.
Together they embark on their quest,
but when Abby and Avant come face to face with destiny, will they sacrifice
whatmatters most to provide a happily-ever-after for the people of Jastain?
Excerpt:
When Avant
climbed back to the cave, his hair was wet. He'd slicked it back from his face
and tied it into a little ponytail with a leather string. The sexy shadow of a
light beard softened his angular jaw, and the thick waves of his hair shined
with chestnut highlights in the morning sun. It was a good look for him, but
then again, what wasn’t? Abby ran her fingers through her own tangled tresses
and pulled her hair back. What she wouldn't give for a hairclip.
“Would you like a thong for your hair?”
She giggled at
the word thong, certain that what she
pictured was not what he referenced. “Do
you have an extra one? I’d like to get it out of my face, and I don’t have
anything.” Actually she had her own thong, but she sure as hell wasn't
putting it in her hair.
He immediately
unlaced the tie at the neck of his shirt and handed it to her.
She gasped and
put a hand to her face to hide the heat in her cheeks as his shirt fell open
below his breast bone. “You don’t have to
do that.”
Her blood
coursed wildly at the sight of the smooth muscles of his chest. A soft
sprinkling of dark hair beckoned her fingers. She swallowed hard.
“It’s all
right. Please use it. It will be a hard day’s journey with hair in your face.” His words rang
in her mind so sincerely she forgot her embarrassment, but her eyes kept
flitting to his heavenly chest.
“Thank you, Avant, and not only for the lace
but for everything you're doing to help me.”
Holding her
gaze, he nodded once, and her heart fluttered. Was it getting warm in the cave?
She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.
“It is time
to be off if we are to make it to the next shelter before nightfall.” He picked up
his pack and walked to the mouth of the cave. She grabbed her bag and followed.
Climbing down
proved to be more difficult than going up. The muscles required to lower
herself from one level to the next worked her thighs and butt like no gym
equipment she'd ever experienced. It was like doing hours of squats. She
trudged down the mountain with the previous day's tumult weighting her down
like the “freshman ten.” Avant helped her along on the steeper steps, but, for
the most part, she made them on her own, clippity-clopping in those damned
Docinis all the way.
When he
reached the bottom, he disappeared around an outcropping. Abby took the last
little step to the base and hurried after him. As she turned the corner, Avant
grabbed her arm and spun her around. Driving her back against the rock, he
pressed the length of his rigid body against her. His face, barely three inches
from hers, clenched in thin lines of stress. Her heart raced…with fear.
She was pretty
sure it was fear.
