Book description
Can the fragile blossom of love survive the rite of spring or will it
be crushed beneath the yoke of honour and duty? Knight of the Round
Table, Sir Gareth of Orkney has fought for Arthur and Britain for years.
Now he is called to serve his king and his country in a way he never
anticipated. King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake have resurrected the
ritual of Beltane and Gareth is expected to oversee the rite. His
ability to perform his duty is tested when he discovers the identity of
the maiden chosen for the sacred ritual. He wants her for his own and
balks at having to select a man to perform the ceremony with her.
Willow, an initiate of Avalon, accompanies the High Priestess to
Camelot. She never imagined she'd find the man who had sparked her
fascination as a child. More disturbing is the realisation that her
childhood adoration has grown into something deeper, more sexual.
However, duty to Avalon forces her to sacrifice herself to another man
in the upcoming Beltane ritual. Can the fragile blossom of love survive
the rite of spring or will it be crushed beneath the yoke of honour and
duty? Reader Advisory: This story was released as part of the Brits in
Time Anthology by Total-E-Bound. _x000D_ I live in Michigan with my
wonderful husband, two amazing sons and seven somewhat psychotic cats.
When not tormenting my characters, I can usually be found helping with
reading, writing and art projects in my sons' classrooms as well as
providing child care and tutoring for several daycare children. Besides
writing, I also enjoy reading, knitting, sewing, cross stitching,
pottery, drawing, jewellery making - basically anything that helps me
avoid cooking and cleaning.
