RUTH A. CASIE (Cont.) THE GUARDIAN’S WITCH BLURB EXCERPT England, 1290 Lord Alex Stelton can‟t resist a challenge: protect a castle on the Scottish border for a year, and it‟s his. Des- perate for land of his own, he‟ll do anything to win the estate—even enter a proxy marriage to the rumored witch, Lady Lisbeth Reynolds. Feared and scorned for her second sight, Lisbeth swore she‟d never marry, but is drawn to Alex. She fore- sees a great love, but only if she reveals she‟s a witch who has visions. Despite his own vow never to fall in love, Alex can‟t get the alluring Lisbeth out of his mind and is driven to protect her when attacks begin on the border. But as her visions of a traitor in their midst intensify, Lisbeth knows she must protect him. Realizing they‟ll secure their future only by facing the threat together, she must choose be- tween keeping her magic a secret and losing the man she loves. His soft breath heated something deep inside her when he brought his face closer to hers. Her heart thun- dered with anticipation. His firm lips kissed her eyelids and advanced to her ear. Mine, he whispered. A delicious shudder pulsed through her body. He marched on to her lips and coaxed them open. His spicy scent swept over her. He captured his prize and swept in with his tongue in victory. Forever echoed in her head. She blinked and the haze vanished. A jumble of con- fused thoughts and feelings assaulted her. Once again she stared into his magnetic eyes. Her lips throbbed with hun- ger for his. She dropped her lashes to hide her confusion. A dream? A wish? She‟d never had such visions. She gave herself a shake to rid herself of the final images. ***** Amazon Review by Sarah Fisher: “I was totally engrossed in this book from chapter 1!!! I so loved the story of Alex & Lisbeth. A really good storyline. I am going to get more of her books as she keeps my attention riveted to the book. Great read Ruth!!!” 6
