Here is a little sneak peek of book 5 in the Realm of Honor series, HER FIERCE KNIGHT: “He should back off,” Randir said. “Or you’ll pummel him?” She glared at him. “Leave him be, Randir.” Understanding stained his features. “You like him.” She huffed and jerked her arm free. “I do not.” “Don’t play me for the fool, Laerwen.” His tone was sharp and commanding. It sent a chill up her spine. She had never heard him speak to her that way before. “Tread carefully, princess.” “Or what?” she demanded. “What do you plan to do? My guess is nothing. Any hostile move against the prince is a hostile move against the kingdom and I won’t have you putting what’s left of my clan in jeopardy. Not like that.” Randir’s hand gripped her upper arm, his fingers digging into her flesh. “But you are still betrothed to me. Never forget that.” His eyes were hard. Cold. Icy. “Never.” “How could I when you won’t let me?” She shoved away from him. “Do not threaten me, Randir. Our betrothal was null and void the moment the Fomorians destroyed the kingdom. You have no claim left on me.” “That is not what the laws of the land say and you know that.” “Aye, but the laws of the land did not account for total annihilation now did they?” she snapped. “You cannot say that you love me, Randir, for I know different. Our marriage was one of arrangement for the good of the kingdom. And since the Hin’Dar Rhule has been destroyed…well, I doubt there is any reason to continue with the betrothal.”
