\nIs their passion strong enough to break her chains?<\/i><\/p>\n

Andaluc\u00eda Spain, 1489: Innocent Beatriz is desperate to escape the threat of a miserable marriage to a cruel Marquis. Forced into the betrothal by her ruthless merchant pap\u00e1, her only hope is to conceal her identity and become a servant in a nearby castle\u2014a life drastically different from her comfortable upbringing.<\/p>\n

Tom\u00e1s doesn\u2019t know what to make of his well-spoken new servant girl. Her beauty and charm captivates the military hero; her mysterious nature intrigues him. And the desire she ignites burns brighter with each glance, as does his longing to claim her for his own.<\/p>\n

Beatriz can\u2019t resist Tom\u00e1s\u2019 passion nor deny the heat of her own. But neither the lush countryside nor the walls of the opulent Moorish castle can entirely protect her\u2014and if he were to discover her secret, she could be torn away from him forever. Yet how can she sustain his love if she\u2019s living a lie?<\/span><\/p>\n

\nExcerpt:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n


A gentle breeze carried laughter and converse from the se\u00f1oritas who surrounded Tom\u00e1s, each vying for his attention. The one in dark green silk with a matching caul danced around trying to get closer to him. The one in red with a white flower in her hair elbowed past another girl. Those in gold and bright yellow were even less demure, pushing into each other, speaking loudly, far removed from how a lowly servant had to act.<\/p>\n

Especially to please Nuncio.<\/p>\n

How dare he make her solely responsible for a man\u2019s carnal moves? Beatriz had no control over anyone\u2019s passion except her own. Thus far, she\u2019d failed miserably at quelling her desires.<\/p>\n

Despite what Nuncio had said, she still ached to feel Tom\u00e1s\u2019s heat and strength, to have him imprison and possess her. No threat in the world would change her longing. However, she wasn\u2019t foolish enough to act on her attraction. Poor man already had enough trouble.<\/p>\n

His broad shoulders were slumped, mouth turned down. She wanted to make him smile. To have him stand as the noble lord he was, magnificent in his dark blue robe and doublet, his hose snug to his sinewy thighs and calves.<\/p>\n

Several young women spoke to him at once. A se\u00f1orita in a bright yellow gown touched his upper arm. The girl next to her, clad in vivid orange silk, touched his jaw.<\/p>\n

Jealousy heated Beatriz\u2019s face and throat.<\/p>\n

Tom\u00e1s drew back until the young woman groped air, not him. He faced the window, his gaze touching Beatriz, his dark brown eyes flooding with warmth, bronze complexion deepening.<\/p>\n

Weak with desire, she leaned against the sill for support.<\/p>\n

The se\u00f1oritas gestured to him, talking endlessly, their words too garbled to understand.<\/p>\n

Whatever they said, Tom\u00e1s ignored them. He studied Beatriz\u2019s eyes, then her lips and lingered there. She was smiling without realizing it. He answered with a broad grin and stepped closer.<\/span><\/p>\n
