Siren Song

About this book

Blush: This is a sensual romance (may have explicit love scenes but not erotic level). First in the Royal Dynasty series. William of Marlowe and Elizabeth of Hurley loved each other from childhood and swore to marry no other. Their fathers had more practical and profitable intentions. William was told Elizabeth had gone to Ilmer to be married to Mauger and in his pain and rage took Mary of Bix to wife. Elizabeth who had withstood starvation and beatings yielded at last when a priest swore to her William had married Mary. But Mauger had taken Elizabeth for more than her moderate dowry. Soon her brothers were both dead and Elizabeth was heir to her fathers lands. When Elizabeths father died Mauger moved his family to Hurley. And when he saw the rich lands of Marlowe across the river he decided to marry his son to Williams daughter be rid of William and have Marlowe too. William should have seen through Maugers false front but his heart and mind were paralyzed by the horrible thought of Elizabeth in Maugers arms. And he nearly so nearly also became Maugers victim.
