Add To

Seasons of Fortitude Series - Book 1 

(This series is about the sisters of the bastard triplets from the Legendary Bastards of the Crown Series. Spring is the sister that was stolen as a baby. It is recommended to read that series first, but not required, as this book stands on its own.) 

Spring has been raised as a warrior, always trying to please her father of Viking descent. Through the years she's tried to be the son he wished her to be. At a young age she's chosen the bow and arrow of a dead man as her weapon, and now she's mastered the skill. Growing up without a mother, the only skill she hasn't mastered is how to be a lady and someday a mother. But now her father decides to marry her off to their enemy, Shaw Gordon, in order to get inside the castle walls. Wanting to be a part of overtaking the castle, she goes along with the plan. 

Shaw Gordon, chieftain and laird, is a widower with two boys and one unruly adolescent daughter. He decides it's time to take a wife again, but never expects to be presented with his enemy's daughter. The woman is fierce, and nothing like the mother he wants for his children. The Gunn clan has been an enemy of the Gordons for as long as he can remember. While an alliance would be good, he doesn't trust them. As he's about to reject the offer, he spots the coveted bow and arrows of his late father in the girl's hands. In order to retrieve it, he does the only thing he can besides fighting - he marries her. 

Can two enemies push aside their differences for the benefit of all? And can a woman draw strength from herself as well as from her new husband when she discovers the horrible secret of her past - that her entire life is nothing but a lie? 

Watch for the other books in the series coming soon: 
Summer's Reign - Book 2, 
Autumn's Touch - Book 3, and 
Winter's Flame - Book 4. 

Also, be sure to read the Legendary Bastards of the Crown Series:
 Destiny's Kiss (Prequel), 
Restless Sea Lord - Book 1, 
Ruthless Knight - Book 2, and
 Reckless Highlander - Book 3.

Magma Spring Gunn is the best archer in her clan,  thanks to the bow she took from a dead Scotsman on burnt candlemas.  She is a trained warrior who has put all her emotions away to please her father. 
Laird Shaw Gordon has been widowed for four years.  He has three growing children and has decided they need a mother.  He is very protective because these are dangerous times. 
Our heroine is incredibly brave but also confused and lonely.  Our hero is suspicious but needs someone in his life. 
This is a wonderful adventure linked to the other series that this author has written.  You can read it on it's own , but I have read lots of the others and I think it's nicer to read in order.  There is lots of danger and intrigue on one side and love and emotion on the other. 
I loved every page.
