The Warrior's Salvation: Warriors of Eriu - Book One

 Jeoffrey is done with war and women.

Both only leave disaster in their wake. A warrior by birth, all he wants is a new start at a peaceful life, forgetting the horrors of his past. But some wounds never heal, especially those caused by a red-haired lass who haunts his dreams and fuels his nightmares. When that very lass turns up in his village badly beaten and holding a child, his nightmares become a reality. She may be the last person he ever wished to see again, but now she is staying in his home, consuming his life. Honor forces him to help her recover but pride demands he keeps his distance.

Some secrets go to the grave, and Clarice has enough to fill her own.

But she isn’t prepared to face death yet. When a violent man forces her into marriage, she risks all to save her and her son, never expecting her journey to bring her back to Jeoffrey. Her love for him is just as strong as ever, as is his hate for her. His terms are clear. He will care for her, then he will send her away. But nothing stays buried forever, and when truths are revealed, Jeoffrey may discover that Clarice and forgiveness can be the best salvation of all.
 

She will not be tamed…
Aislin Mac Cecht is not like other lassies. She prefers her bow, connecting with nature, and most importantly, her freedom. Marriage and children would only tie her down. No man could ever possibly accept her as she is, feral and stubborn to a fault, and she refuses to change for anyone, despite her family’s insistence that she settle down.

He would never dream of trying…
Alastar Mac Murray vowed to never get married. He much prefers to spend his nights with as many lassies as possible, living a life of ease and freedom, even if his easy smile and witty banter hide the painful shadows of his past. But when he first sees Aislin in her short hide dress, bow slung over her shoulder as she berates her brother, all his plans change. He will have Aislin Mac Cecht, and taming her is the last thing on his mind.

One reckless wager, the kiss of a lifetime, and an opportunity to secure the lass of his dreams has Alastar proposing a handfast to Aislin. She keeps her freedom and silences her family, and he wins the girl… for only one year and one day. She vows to leave when it’s over. He vows to keep her forever.

Can two people who value freedom over love find happiness in both?

He expected a reunion… Instead, he found disaster…

Brennain Mac Greine can have any woman in all Ériu. Unfortunately, the only woman he wants is still in Alba, across the sea. Years of dreaming and wondering if he will ever see her again become a reality when his king orders him to travel to Alba and seek out their enemy. He will do as his king commands... and seek the woman who has consumed his mind in the process. But when he arrives, he is forced to face a distasteful truth.

Morna has loved Brennain for years, but she lost him and any hope of a future with him when he returned to Ériu. When he shows up once again in Alba, she is faced with memories of a love she never forgot. Brennain wants her back but there is only one problem: she's no longer available. Married out of necessity, Morna doesn't care that her husband turned traitor and abandoned her and his daughter. She is glad to be rid of him and plans to dissolve the marriage, but Brennain has other plans… whether she approves or not.

Surrounded by a foreign army and an old enemy from Ériu, war is imminent and Brennain’s loyalty must be to his king, but that will not stop him from having victory both in battle and in love... even if he must risk his honor to achieve it.
