Lady Calloway
Lady Liora Calloway doesn't know what to do. Her priest told her women didn't have strong sexual urges, so resisting the temptation of pleasure with her husband should have been easy. But her priest was wrong. Kerrick's every touch invited her to passion--a passion she must resist or be damned as a prostitute according to her priest.
Lord Kerrick Calloway was confused. His wife swore she loved him, yet showed no desire for him in the bedroom, sometimes pushing him away. They'd only been together for three months, but the strain was already beginning to show up in other areas of life.
One evening, Kerrick loses his temper and demands an explanation. Liora had no idea her husband, who worked for the church, held beliefs different from her own. Kerrick is stunned when he learns his wife holds beliefs which would brand her a heretic. After he commands her to read the Holy Writings, she spends a week searching for scriptures defending her beliefs. It is all in vain. Has she been taught a lie?
Kerrick must choose between the church he serves and the wife he loves. Choosing love over duty, he rushes Liora down to the seaside, to a private enclosed residence. He explains the danger she will be in if the church learns of her beliefs, encouraging her to modify her ideas on sex in marriage.
They both discover that Liora is a much more passionate woman than they'd thought.
But this all becomes secondary when they both began to develop mental abilities the church forbids. If he hadn't worked so closely with the church, they might have gone unnoticed. But he could never hide it from the confessors and wardens he worked with. Liora wonders how anyone could condemn an ability which was so obviously a gift from God, and Kerrick has no answer. As they seek a way out of their dilemma they receive a message from an unforeseen source, urging them to flee to Wales.
Can they outrun the church which wants Kerrick back at his post and is about to put Liora's village under a religious purge? Find out in this tale of forbidden love and power where love may be the most powerful act of defiance.
