The Seventh Son – Book four in the Norman Conquest series

Drogheda, Ireland 1076

The sixth son bears a curse as certain as the seventh son bears a blessing. When Tadhg MacNaughton’s betrothed is ripped from his arms and married to another, he believes the legend is true.

Tisa O’Brien’s life slams into a downward spiral at the news she is no longer betrothed to the love of her life but to the tanist of a warring, prideful clan with dangerous political aspirations, the Meic Lochlainn. She faces her destiny with all the strength and dignity of her Irish heritage despite dealing with a husband who resents her, fighting off the lustful advances of her father-in-law, Aodh, and longing for the husband of her heart.

Tadhg MacNaughton makes a deal with the devil to ensure the survival of his clan as he is commanded to fight with Aodh who envisions himself the new Brian Boru, High King of Eire. Up close and personal, Tadhg must witness his true love’s marriage and remain silent even as it rips him apart. When a sinister plot to over throw King William of England led by the exiled Leofrid Godwin and Clan Meic Lochlainn comes to light, Tadhg is faced with saving his clan or endangering his sister and her Norman husband.

An Irish beauty and a warrior betrayed, doomed in love from the start or does fate have something else in store for them?

From atop his horse, Tadhg watched as Aodh and Darragh went inside the inn. A large out building in the back, mayhap there would be room for all to be warm this night. A slither of something shivered up his spine. He turned in time to see Gerrit nudging his horse forward, his eyes locked on Tisa. When she noticed him, the look of fear that flashed across her face could not have been Tadhg’s imagination. Without forethought, he jumped from his horse and hurried to her side. The leathered man pulled back and avoided looking at him. He moved toward the outside of the group as if it had always been his destination.

Tisa frowned at Tadhg, no doubt for his sudden appearance. He cleared his throat. “Can I assist ye?”

“With what?”

He raised stiff arms toward her. Confusion furrowed her brow but she leaned toward him. His hands at her waist, he lifted her down with ease. All ceased around him and she became his total focus. The earthy scent of her filled his senses. He breathed her in. Her dark hair brushed against his cheek like a caress. He turned into it. His fingers spread at her waist. He pressed against her ribs.

When her feet touched the ground, she stared at him with wide eyes, her bottom lip caught between her teeth. Heat surged through him. Did she feel the heat as well? He ran his tongue over his lips, his breath caught in his chest and he moved his face in closer. Just a taste of those luscious, red lips.
