Romance Historical
In 1525, Günter Behaim is a Landsknecht (a professional
soldier in the service of Emperor Charles V). Günter has
been betrayed by love and promises not kept. As a result,
he has sworn to make few promises of his own and keep those
unto death. However, when his friend is mortally wounded
while saving Günter’s life, he gives a pledge to marry his
betrothed. To keep his promise, Günter must use every
weapon in his romantic arsenal to convince the reluctant
woman to marry him. As his passion for her grows, he
realizes he is falling in love. Is he prepared to risk his
worst fear: having his heart rejected once more?
The Spanish beauty Alonsa García de Aranjuéz is determined
to withstand Günter’s relentless pursuit. Haunted by a
gypsy’s curse on any man who loves her, Alonsa yearns for
Günter, but fear for his safety forces her to rebuff him.
As she struggles to deny the growing attraction between
them, she begins to realize that fate may have other plans.
With danger surrounding them, will Alonsa bite from the
forbidden fruit? Or will Günter be bitten instead by the
mysterious misfortune that seems to plague any with the
courage to become ... Alonsa’s love?

Re: The Promise
Congrats on The Promise, TJ! I remember when The Legacy first debuted and hearing about that! Do you have another related book planned? (I thought I recalled a trilogy?)
(Fedora Chen 1:50am June 5, 2009)
Congratulations on your success! Your books sound fascinating.
(Betty Cox 12:25pm June 5, 2009)
Isn't it interesting how some characters push themselves on you when you are trying to write about someone else!
(Karin Tillotson 12:27pm June 5, 2009)
These books sound great! I'll have to check them out (& I usually don't read historicals!)!
(Kelli Jo Calvert 12:50pm June 5, 2009)
Congrats TJ!

The story and setting of 'The Promise' are unique and interesting. I will definitely will make this book a summer read.

Hi, folks! Sorry I didn't respond earlier. Been traveling today unexpectedly and just got back. Thanks for the interest in my book, THE PROMISE. And to answer Fedora's question, while I do have the third brother, Peter's story, in the back of my mind, at this time I have no plans for a trilogy. Never say never, though. I'm working on anther historical manuscript, something I'm calling a "grown up gothic fairy tale," which I'm hoping everyone will be able to enjoy soon.
Thanks for asking!

Have been signed up for IMHO for a
month or so now. Also on your
website. Love historicals and yours are
a nice change of pace . You can't let
Peter languish in no man's land. I'm
looking forward to your "fairy tale."

Hi TJ! Just signed up for the newsletter and checked out the blog - it's great! Haven't read any of your books yet - but will keep my eye out for them!
(Martha Lawson 10:24pm June 6, 2009)
Congrats!

TJ,
I'm just adding my congratulations on the great review! My novel Fire at Midnight was reviewed here to day, too, and FF was very good to me, too!
