Lizabeth Ives, the daughter of the Lord High Executioner of
the Tower of London has stolen some important documents. She
hopes to expose the chief warder, Lord Hollister, who is
poisoning the king. Lizabeth will not be a victim of Lord
Hollister and his lust for power and for her body. Before
she can tell her father what her plans are, one of the
prisoners he is torturing escapes and takes Lizabeth with
him. He is Broderick Maxwell, a Scottish spy seeking
information to convince the King of Scotland to align with
France. Lizabeth agrees to help Broderick escape out of the
city if he becomes her escort and takes her to the Duke of
Gloucester. Broderick feels very protective of Lizabeth and
refuses to let her travel alone when danger is all around them.
Broderick and Lizabeth meet up with Broderick's fellow
clansmen and friends that can help them arrive to safety.
Broderick would love nothing more to keep Lizabeth safe in
his arms, while Lizabeth worries about her father and the
health of the English king. There are enemies all around
them as they travel further away from England and into the
wilds of Scotland. Soon, Lizabeth is in Broderick's
territory and he doesn't want to let her go. Lizabeth feels
so safe with Broderick and he treats her like the woman she
has always wanted to be. But with war on the horizon and
betrayal and distrust all around them, there may be no
future for this lusty Scot and his lovely English rose.
HER ONLY DESIRE is a luscious historical romance with
incredible characters and a great story overall. If you like
sexy, to die for heroes, Kimberly Killion has written the
ultimate one with Broderick. His devotion to his friends,
family and that of Lizabeth is very sweet. Poor Lizabeth is
a woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders during
a time where a lady like herself has no options. She is very
brave, loving and filled with such optimism. And don't be
surprised if you find yourself laughing at the initial
interactions both she and Broderick have. Their bantering
back and forth is worth the read alone.
Lord Hollister is a nasty piece of work who will stop at
nothing to get what he wants. And there are some great
secondary characters that also breathe life into this story.
Kimberly Killion also has a great knack for combining
historical reality with fiction. For a romance that has
thrills and some wonderful love scenes between Broderick and
Lizabeth, HER ONE DESIRE is a great historical romance that
you will not want to miss.
Astride a stolen horse, encircled by the shackled arms of
Broderick Maxwell,
a Scottish spy escaping certain death in the Tower of
London, Lizbeth Ives
rides to the north, hidden by the merciful darkness. By
stealth and by
cunning, the daughter of the Lord High Executioner has
undone her father’s
cruel work, compelled to save the innocent man with her.
There is no turning
back—they are bound as one in his iron chains. Consumed by
mortal fear,
driven by passion, they disappear into the night…
A single raven follows them. Is it an omen? Or only the
first of those who
would capture them? They must ride on. If captured, they
will face death
together. But if they reach Scotland, he will claim her for
his own…forever.
