Synopsis
All of his life, Caden DeMott’s mismatched eyes have made
him the target of superstition and scorn. Though he is the son of a nobleman,
he’s been allowed to run free over the hills and moors, mostly ignored by his
family. No one ever thought to inform him that he had been betrothed since
infancy, until the day his fiancé, Prince Rhys Gwyther arrived to marry
him.
Rhys is the prince of the small island country of
Mauritania, a land rich in gems, rose oil, and pearls, but poor in skilled
artisans and seeds to grow crops. In order to further cement the trade route to
the mainland, he’s been sent to marry a man he’s never met, and bring him back
to Mauritania. Unfortunately, an accident years before has left Rhys with a lot
of emotional baggage and very little trust in strangers.
But trust is exactly what Caden and Rhys are going to need
if they are to make a life together, and help unravel the mystery of who’s been
smuggling valuable gems and pearls off the island. Add in the realization that
Caden’s stepmother, Mildred and her island representative, Maxwell, have been
importing inferior goods for years, forcing Mauritania to become more dependent
on them, and trust becomes even more difficult.
Caden possesses the knowledge to finally allow Rhys’
father to unravel the plot to ruin Mauritania, but only if the king and his son
are willing to put their faith in Caden’s loyalty to his new home. Something
that is difficult to do after Caden is accused of cheating on his marriage vows
to Rhys with his guard, Luc. Will Rhys believe him innocent? Or will their
marriage be over before it truly has a chance to begin?

Excerpt:
Rhys turned, his mother by his side,
to take in the sight.
“Why, he’s
positively beautiful, and what delightful dogs. You must be very pleased,” the
queen said to her son, her arm linked with his.
Rhys turned to her
and gave a halfhearted smile. “He’s stubborn as hell.”
The queen threw
her head back and laughed. Caden and Kendric looked to see what she’d found so
amusing.
“Caden, come
here,” the queen invited, holding out her other hand.
Caden went to her
and took her hand gently, bowing over it.
“Oh, pish posh,”
she said, pulling her hand from Rhys’ arm so she could reach up and hug Caden.
“I’m no more interested in formalities than my husband is. I am Anwen, unless
the foreign wind bags are visiting, and then we’ll all be ‘Lord-ing’ and ‘Your
Majesty-ing’ each other half to death.”
Caden tried to
choke back a laugh and failed, his eyes lighting up with joy and merriment.
Anwen smiled, her
own eyes alight with glee. “I’m glad to see you share a love for laughter,
Caden, because I do so love to laugh.”
Even Rhys was
grinning, though he had eyes only for Caden.
“Now, Caden, Rhys
tells me you’re stubborn as hell. Well, I have just one thing to say to
that....” Anwen began, then paused dramatically. “Good. It’s about time he learned
there are those who can be even more stubborn than him.”
About the author
LAYLA DORINE lives among the sprawling prairies
of Midwestern America, in a house with more cats than people. She loves hiking,
fishing, swimming, martial arts, camping out, photography, cooking, and
dabbling with several artistic mediums. In addition, she loves to travel and
visit museums, historic, and haunted places.
Layla got hooked on writing as a child, starting with
poetry and then branching out, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Hard
times, troubled times, the lives of her characters are never easy, but then
what life is? The story is in the struggle, the journey, the triumphs and the
falls. She writes about artists, musicians, loners, drifters, dreamers,
hippies, bikers, truckers, hunters and all the other folks that she’s met and
fallen in love with over the years. Sometimes she writes urban romance and
sometimes its aliens crash landing near a roadside bar. When she isn’t writing,
or wandering somewhere outdoors, she can often be found curled up with a good
book and a kitty on her lap.
