Lord of Desire

 Author Bio: I made it! I’m finally here! My first book, Lord Of Desire, will hit the bookshelves August, 2005.

It’s been a long road.

I’ve always loved stories. I was fortunate to have a mother who not only read to me, but made up tales of her own. My luck continued as I grew up. Fourth grade was one of my favorite years as a student. Some things you just never forget, like Sister Joseph Anne and her original stories about the adventures of Jane and Fifi at Avocado Green. I could have sat at my desk for the next ten years and listened to her…Check out her website for more info on her other works and more about this very talented author. http://paulaquinn.com/

This was the first novel of Paula Quinn’s that I had ever read. But since then I have not only read other works of hers, but I keep going back to this one. There is something about a story that surrounds a woman and her enemy that gets to me. I just love the conflict and the emotional highs and lows that happen within the storyline.

Lord Brand “the Passionate” Risande defeated Lady Brynnafar Dumont’s father in battle and has now come to claim the Dumont castle. Brynna vows to do whatever it takes to protect her family’s Saxon retainers, even if it means marrying the conquering Norman brute. When Brynna finally meets Brand, she is shocked to discover that he is the man she briefly encountered a year before who has since haunted her every romantic fantasy. Suddenly, the idea of wedding the sinfully sexy nobleman becomes much more appealing, but Brand, who caught his former betrothed in the throes of passion with another man, has no interest in marriage. Brynna knows that earning Brand’s trust and love will not be easy, but she is determined that this is one battle she will definitely win.
