| Baron Shawn du Locke must choose between honor and desire...with the fragile peace of the Human Galactic Empire hanging in the balance. | |
|
Shorn of his lands, regency, title, father, lady, and name, the only thing
left to the Baron Shawn du Locke is his honor. Nothing in the past had
shaken it and nothing would cause him to compromise it—until he met the
Lady Elina Acier.
Elina Acier is the last hope of both the family Acier and the Noble Houses
of the Human Galactic Empire. If Acier falls into the hands of the
Emperor, few will be safe in the ensuing cataclysm, and to protect the
planet Acier from the Emperor, the Lady must marry a Duke’s son.
Baron Shawn du Locke vows to convey Elina to the Imperial Capital to marry
Duke Nior’s son. But that is before Shawn meets the Lady Elina. Elina
Acier is the cousin of Shawn’s long dead love the Lady Lyral Neuterra, and
Elina could be Lyral’s twin.
Shawn once loved Lyral enough to grant her his House and to fight a war in
her name—now he is honor bound to deliver Elina Acier, Lyral’s twin, to
marry another man.
So begins a breakneck race across space—a race against time, intrigue,
death, and love. Every time Shawn looks at Elina, he sees Lyral. Every
time she speaks, it is as if he hears a voice from the grave. And every
time he thinks about Elina, he remembers how his own actions led to
Lyral’s death.
Shawn must safely deliver Elina to the Imperial capital. He must do so
before the Emperor discovers and kills Elina, and before her presence
drives him insane… or he falls in love.
What of Elina? Can she respect a disgraced noble? Can she love a man
undone by her appearance and the sound of her voice? Can she accept a man
in love with a ghost out of the past?
This time, Shawn promises himself over and over, this time he will
succeed—this time.
