by Gaelen Foley


  He was staring at her in awe, his cobalt eyes glowing, his lips slightly parted. Edward released her, and Maggie went to take her place beside him.

  The major. The Fourth Duke of Amberley.

  As his gaze traveled over her with sheer, doting reverence, Maggie gulped at the profundity of the everlasting vow they were about to make.

  The time had come. It was a great responsibility when someone loved you so much. He had entrusted her with his heart, as she had him.

  Her pulse thumped faster.

  Ah, but when Connor smiled at her, so calm, strong, and sure, any lingering nervousness she might have felt scattered like a handful of bright spring petals flung to the wind.

  Love had found her at last, and together, the two of them had nothing to fear. He took her hand in his and smiled at her. Then they turned to the priest.

  The future waited.

  Beatrice Palmer has finally found her true calling – running her grandparents’ picturesque farm near Harmony Falls.

  Ambition drives handsome corporate hotshot Harrison Riley. As heir apparent to run the company, fulfilling one last crazy whim for the boss who’s been like a father to him will seal the deal. A master of sweet-talking global corporate leaders, Harry rolls into town in his Porsche expecting this to be a cakewalk.

  Praise for Gaelen Foley:

  “There are some romance authors whose novels pretty much guarantee a good old-fashioned, joyful read. One such author is Gaelen Foley. Foley’s storytelling is so even and consistently entertaining – and her lovers so warm and attractive – that it’s easy to get lost in the romance. And that’s the best gift a writer of happily-ever-after love stories can give her readers.” ~Lifetime TV Books Blog

  “A charming, heartwarming love story.” ~RT Book Reviews

  AGE OF HEROES, BOOK 1

  Paladin’s Prize

  New York Times bestselling author Gaelen Foley leads readers on a magical journey to a fairytale land where good battles evil, adventure beckons the daring, and epic love awaits the true of heart.

  Resolutely noble, impossibly brave, paladin Sir Thaydor Clarenbeld serves as royal champion for the kingdom of Veraidel. But when the king becomes corrupt, Thaydor speaks out—and promptly ends up banished from court, sent off as a knight errant on an endless round of quests meant to get him killed. One mission nearly does. Covered in wounds after a monstrous battle, he lies at death’s door when rescue arrives in the form of the beautiful, mystic healer known as the Maid of the Mount.

  The lady Wrynne du Mere gave up a luxurious life to devote herself to caring for others. When she finds the famous hero broken and bleeding, saving him will take all her skill—and a fateful dash of magic. And it will cost her dearly. For the dangerous spell will leave their souls forever entwined, and his foes, so many and so powerful, will target her, as well. Wrynne knows to survive and restore justice to the land, they must join forces. But for how long can they resist the searing temptation of desire?

  “4½ Stars! The perfect blending of high fantasy and romance.” ~Romance Junkies

  “One of the finest adventure/romance authors does it again. Foley never sacrifices character or romance while whisking readers away on fast-paced escapades and daring missions and giving them a glorious deep-sigh read.” ~Kathe Robin, RT Book Reviews
