“I still don’t know who I am... What if I’m an enemy?”
Injured in battle, Magnus awakens with no memory of who he is. Knowing he is in danger, he flees...only to encounter a Saxon maiden in peril.
Aisly hates the Danes who invaded her land and killed her husband. Yet, when a mysterious wounded warrior saves her life, she cannot turn her back on him. As Aisly tends to Magnus’s injuries, desire surges between them. But when Magnus’s true identity is revealed, she’s thrown into turmoil—she has invited her enemy into her bed!
Parting her lips just a little, she pressed them to his. His lips were soft.
But then his hands were on her shoulders and he gently pushed her away.
In that horrifying moment Aisly realised that she had completely misread his attention.
‘I want to. You’re so lovely. But it wouldn’t be fair.’
His voice was so gentle and his eyes so soft that she wanted to run and hide. The way her body was responding to him was nothing but wrong. And yet for some strange reason she felt close to this foreigner, closer than she’d felt to anyone in a long time. She was just so lonely. That was why.
‘I’m sorry,’ she whispered, and moved back a little.
He caught her wrist before she could get far. ‘Never apologise for touching me.’
It wasn’t an admonishment, precisely. His voice was warm, and if she didn’t know better—he was an injured man—it was textured with longing.
Some books start with a character or an event in history. Some start with a ‘what if…?’ This is a ‘what if…?’ story. What if two people meet and fall madly in love, neither of them knowing that they are supposed to be enemies? What if by the time they do find out it’s too late to change their minds and hearts but the world wants to keep them apart?
This is how Magnus and Aisly’s story started for me. Magnus is a noble warrior, bound by his duty but with a soft heart. The last thing he needs is a woman who challenges that loyalty. Aisly is focused and fiercely independent, and has already been burned by one bad relationship. The last thing she needs is another man in her life. Yet from almost the first moment they meet they recognise a part of themselves in the other. They’ll have to work through their own insecurities, whilst the world tries to keep them apart, to find their happily-ever-after.
I hope you enjoy reading their romance as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you so much for reading.
