Married—by order of the king!

Deceived and alone, Beatrice of Warehaven is forced to flee—straight into the powerful arms of feared warrior Gregor of Roul. He escorts her home, though not before a kiss ignites true passion between them.

If Gregor is to gain his freedom, he must obey one last royal order—overthrow Warehaven and marry Beatrice. His betrayal will earn Beatrice’s hatred, but Gregor is prepared to go into battle with this stubborn beauty—and finish what he started with his innocent bride!

‘I am Beatrice of Warehaven.’

His reaction was immediate. A brief widening of his eyes followed by a frown.

Beatrice’s stomach fluttered uneasily. ‘Is something the matter?’

Gregor wasn’t at all certain how to react. He was on his way to take possession of Warehaven Keep—and its heiress. Of course fate would ensure that he should run into the heiress along the way.

To make matters worse, she didn’t appear to fear him in the least. For the first time since the disastrous event that had passed as his marriage he feared that he might eventually come to care for a woman….

Not just any woman, but this woman.

Over twenty years ago, in ‘story’ time, Randall FitzHenry and Brigit of Warehaven began their journey in Wedding at Warehaven from the Halloween Temptations anthology. Over the years they thrived and prospered, fortifying Warehaven, building a successful shipping empire and raising a family. That family consisted of three children: Jared the eldest who, after much grief, married his childhood love Lea of Montreau—the same woman who once left him at the altar and wed another—in Pregnant by the Warrior. Then there was Isabella who, while kidnapped and carted far from her home by Richard of Dunstan, discovered the love of her heart in The Warrior’s Winter Bride.

Now it’s time for Beatrice, the youngest of the family, to find her love in the least likely of places in the last Warehaven story At the Warrior’s Mercy. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about the Warehaven family even half as much as I’ve enjoyed creating their stories. Perhaps in this final tale we’ll discover the answer to the question that’s long bedevilled Beatrice—will her lover be strong enough to hold her should she swoon from his kisses?

Happy reading!
