A Sorceress of His Own

Since the day Lord Dillon earned his spurs, rumours of his savagery on the battlefield have preceded him into every room, drilling tongues and sparking fear. Weary of battle, he wishes only to find a woman he can wed who will approach him not in fear, but with the tenderness that has been absent from his life for so long. Get only the wisewoman seems invariable at ease in his presence. Perhaps because she garners the same fear in others that he does himself.

for seven years, Alyssa has been by Lord Dillon's side, counselling him from the shadows, healing him with her hands, and staging off the worst of his loneliness while his fearsome reputation keeps others at bay. Blessed -- or cursed -- with gifts label her a sorceress, she is forced to conceal her youth and the love she harbours for him beneath umbral robes that lead Dillon and his people to believe she is the same aged spokeswoman who served his father.

All is revealed, however, and passions Clare when an enemy threatens Dillon's life and Alyssa sacrifices everything to save him. When Dillon discovers that the wisewoman  is far from elderly, he is instantly entranced. And, as he and Alyssa work together to defeat an enemy bent on destroying them both, Dillon will risk anything -- even the wrath of his king -- to be with her.
