Wild Lavender, Book One of Heart and Hand Series

By Nicole Elizabeth Kelleher and Nicole E. Kelleher

Bound by duty. Torn by desire. Destined to change the fate of kingdoms.

Award-winning Wild Lavender

Lady Aubrianne dreamed of love, freedom, and galloping across open fields-not a cold marriage to a cruel man with blood on his hands. Trapped in a brutal union and shadowed by whispers of treason, she risks everything to defy the husband who would destroy her-and sparks a rebellion that could save the realm.

Royal Guard Larkin is hunting traitors, not love. But the moment he sees the hauntingly familiar Lady Aubrianne, she unsettles him more than any blade. As danger closes in, what begins as suspicion ignites into a passion neither can deny. And when her secrets are finally revealed, Larkin must choose whether love is worth the risk of betrayal.

As their forbidden desire threatens to upend the fragile balance of power, loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and the fate of a kingdom will hang in the balance. Love may be their salvation-or the weapon that destroys them both.

In a world steeped in prophecy, power, and peril, hearts will burn... and only the bold will rise from the ashes.

Wild Lavender, Golden Quill winner for Best Fantasy Romance, is the gripping first installment of the Heart & Hand series-a sweeping medieval fantasy romance filled with sizzling tension, daring intrigue, and a heroine who won't be tamed.
