Love's Magic

Romance Historical

In 1192, Celestia Montehue is the odd one in the family, even her looks are unique. She's blond, petite, has one green eye and one blue eye while the rest of her family are tall, flame-haired and gorgeous. The one thing that she shares with her family is her healing abilities.

Nicholas Le Blanc is haunted by his past. While on a crusade, he's ambushed, all the men with him are gone, a sacred relic is stolen. Nicholas is held captive and tortured for a year before he manages to escape, but in order for Nicholas to gain his freedom he had to kill a woman. The guilt of committing this act eats away at him.

The arranged marriage between these tortured souls doesn't seem like a recipe for happiness. Celestia's new home is a broken down keep that is haunted by the ghost of Nicholas's mother. When a maid is founded murdered, a curse is revealed. Celestia has fallen in love with her tortured husband. Will Celestia and Nicholas be doomed? Or will love's magic heal them?

One of the things that I loved about LOVE'S MAGIC was Celestia's character. She's tough and feisty and she will fight for what she wants. The relationship development was a very sweet because it's my favorite type--where two people who have no intention of falling in love, somehow do.

SUMMARY

While her sisters are tall and beautiful, Celestia Montehue is the misfit in a royal family—petite, with one green and one blue eye. The only thing she has in common with her ancestors is her magical healing ability. Fearing no one will ever accept her, she vows never to marry. Meanwhile, Nicholas Le Blanc, a haunted man, was trained as a knight but his childhood has convinced him he is a bastard. He is captured while on crusade and eventually forced to kill for his freedom. An arranged marriage between the two does not bode happiness, nor does Celestia's new home—a broken-down keep haunted by the ghost of Nicholas' mother. Soon a curse is set upon them, and they must decide if their love will save them or, ultimately, doom them.
