Aloha! I am away from home this week with limited internet access. I hope you enjoy the book spotlights in my absence ...
Now, using a newly-discovered spell, she binds her powers and flees again—this time for her life. Unfortunately, her plan to hide as a maid in a distant kingdom goes awry when she unwittingly gets entered into a festival competition for the hand of a prince—a man with a wicked kiss and a sense of adventure that rivals her own.
All she’s ever hoped for is a quiet existence as a servant, never imagining she could find laughter and belonging and love. And now the mischievous prince has her dreaming of all those things.
With a bounty on her head, sorcerers closing in, and a prince threatening to steal her heart, could it finally be time to stop running? Time to trust? Time to love?

There is a Scottish Castle in Downton Abbey. I don't know the name but it is pure fairy tale. So beautiful.

I like Windsor Castle and the mansions of the gilded age in Newport, RI.
ReplyDeleteNo real favorites. We visit them where ever we go. I really want to go to Ireland, Scotland, England, and Europe. I can indulge my love of old houses and castles.

ReplyDeleteAloha, Kim! Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the spotlight on Forbidden. My apologies for the belated response. I've been obsessively working on my book trailer and haven't been faithfully checking my email. I love all the castle pics and the comments people have been posting. Neuschwanstein is one of my favorites, but I love Glamis castle in Scotland, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying Forbidden and can't wait to hear what you think of it. :)
