Synopsis

She said…

Caedmon of Larkspur is the most loathsome lout I have ever encountered! When my sisters and I arrived at his castle, we were greeted by servants and children running wild, while Caedmon lied abed after a night of ale. No doubt there will be another child soon, because I must admit he’s as handsome as he is virile. and I must endure him, for we are in desperate need of protection, though I can only imagine what this knight will demand of me in return…



He Said…

After nine long months in the king’s service, all I wanted was peace… not five Viking princesses running my keep. And the fiery redhead who burst into my chamber that first morning is the worst of all. Why, I should kick her out… but I have a much more wickedly delightful plan for Breanne of Stoneheim, one that will leave her a Viking in lust.

Son of The Morning - side 1 Son of The Morning - side 2

Synopsis :

A scholar specializing in ancient manuscripts, Grace St. John never imagined that a cache of fragile, old documents she discovered was the missing link to a lost Celtic treasure. But as soon as she deciphers the intriguing legend of the Knights of the Templar – long fabled to hold the key to unlimited power – Grace becomes the target of a ruthless killer bent on abusing the coveted force. Determined to stop him, Grace needs the help of a celebrated warrior bound by duty to uphold the Templar’s secret for all eternity. But to find him – and to save herself – she must go back in time.

Summoning the magic of an arcane ritual, Grace steps back to the barren hills of 14th-century Scotland, enduring the perils of an untamed land to confront Black Niall, a fierce man of dark fury and raw, unbridled desire. Driven by a mix of fear and passion, Grace enlists this brazen knight to join her in a modern-day search for a killer. In their quest to protect a timeless secret, they uncover a love for all time – and a deadly duel of honor that risks everything they have.

 

NOTES: This book is a personal favorite of mine. Everything about it from the setting to the storyline entranced me to hold on tight to the book till I finished reading it from cover to cover. This was the first book authored by Linda Howard. A definite must read.

Welcome to Secondhand Novels


As it’s name proposes, this is a website to sell part of my book collection as secondhand novels. The amount of my books have piled up considerably over the years. Thus, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to part with them in order to make room for more new books.

For me, it would be a great waste to send these books straight for recycling as these books can still be used for leisure reading or even collection purposes. However, I cannot promise that all books are the 'HOT' or 'WANTED' category of books as most of them were purchased based on personal interest and preferences.

Please bear in mind that all sales is limited to MALAYSIA ONLY and that all prices shown is before the shipping charges have been added. For more information, please take a closer look at the Terms and Condition section.

Last but not least, happy browsing through here and hope you find a book that interests you.
