Cursed with immortality over a century ago, life has been cruel for Draco Vulcan. He has suffered greatly and now feels dead inside even if he cannot be killed in body. Now, if there’s any hope of finally breaking the curse and ensuring his two best friends can live out normal lives with the women they love, Draco must marry a woman he actively dislikes.
Lady Gavina deKeith has just been widowed and has no desire to enter another loveless marriage, most especially not to the savage warrior she has seen fighting with William Wallace.
But when King Edward of England learns that the Wallace has taken refuge at Dunnottar Castle and begins a violent siege against them, Draco and Gavina have few options but to join forces against a common enemy, but neither is ready for the sacrifices they must make to break the curse.
This was an excellent finale for an action-packed series. There was a crazy juxtaposition here with some romance flaring between Draco and Gavina while a battle waged just outside the castle walls. This was definitely a nail-biter to say the least. Draco had some serious issues and definitely qualified as a very tortured hero, so his confiding in Gavina was raw and beautifully emotional. I loved how vulnerable these two were to each other and they made an excellent pair. I’m looking forward to what’s next from this author as she’s become one of my most reliable favorites.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
