A blood oath forged eight centuries ago bonded Helen Stark to Lord Weathersky Endicott in marriage from the day she was born. The nineteen-year-old orphan bride-to-be arrives at Cragmoore Castle eager to meet her betrothed, sensibly trading love for the security of an arranged marriage. Weathersky has other ideas—and a secret power. The handsome, brilliant Endicott heir is a warlock with mastery over everything but love. He longs to break free of the castle and live a mortal life. Helen resolves to help him without realizing the consequences of breaking the oath. Eight hundred years of supernatural rule will not be overthrown so easily.
Constance Kent is a romance writer, mother and binge-watcher of emotionally-charged episodic television. She loves reading, writing and red wine—not necessarily in that order. In addition to penning steamy historical romance, Miss Kent is the author of a small town romantic comedy series set in 1987, and an erotic medieval romance series set the time of King John. She is currently at work on a new series set in Victorian England featuring some very bad men.
