Romance Historical

England, 1290

Lord Alex Stelton can't resist a challenge, especially one with a prize like this: protect a castle on the Scottish border for a year, and it's his. Desperate for land of his own, he'll do anything to win the estate—even enter a proxy marriage to Lady Lisbeth Reynolds, the rumored witch who lives there.

Feared and scorned for her second sight, Lisbeth swore she'd never marry, but she is drawn to the handsome, confident Alex. She sees great love with him but fears what he would think of her gift and her visions of a traitor in their midst.

Despite his own vow never to fall in love, Alex can't get the alluring Lisbeth out of his mind and is driven to protect her when attacks begin on the border. But as her visions of danger intensify, Lisbeth knows it is she who must protect him. Realizing they'll secure their future only by facing the threat together, she must choose between keeping her magic a secret and losing the man she loves.

Re: The Guardian's Witch

I really enjoyed reading your posting this morning. I had no idea how much was involved as far as the beliefs of a Witch went. It was very enlightening, and actually gave me a new found respect for them. I'm looking forward to reading your book, and have it down on my TBR list for the Summer. It sounds like it will be a good story to follow, now that I see Witches in a different lightI'm sure it will do well. The cover is well done, too!!

@Peggy Roberson

I enjoyed the research and even took a class on witchcraft to
get a better understanding. I'm so glad you enjoyed the post.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Very interesting post, Ruth. I liked the blub as well. I tweeted.

Spells are an intention put forth into the universe, at times a celebration, at times an emotional need - there is so much about "wise women" beliefs, thinking, and even treatment - that works across the bounds of other religions, of medical treatments, of spiritualism. There is symbolism too that crosses the lines. It is sad to think of the stigma that was (and still is) attached to The Craft.

Interesting reading! I would love to read the book, as well!

I tend to agree that what goes around comes around - you call it paying it forward. Good luck with the book.

I really liked this post and it gave me a good feeling. I like to read books "that carry me away".

@Carla Carlson - People are skeptical, if not fear, what they
do not know or cannot comprehend. There is so much to be
learned if we can keep an open mind about a lot of things. My
research for this book was exciting and thought provoking...
and I found new friends.

@Clare O'Beara - Yes, whatever we call it, I truly believe
that helping others has its rewards.I'm glad we think alike.

The seven belief's are things that everyone should be living by. I guess there should be a little witch in all of us.

@Annetta Sweetko - I totally agree!

Hi Ruth, I love the "to do and not do" list for casting spells. I look forward to reading your book!

I've never researched witches and witchcraft before, but your
post has made me very interested. As someone else said, we
should all live by that list, whether or not we believe in
witches.
