BLURB:
Andalucía Spain,
1489: Innocent Beatriz is desperate to escape the threat of a miserable
marriage to a cruel Marquis. Forced into the betrothal by her ruthless merchant
papá, her only hope is to conceal her identity and become a servant in a nearby
castle—a life drastically different from her comfortable upbringing.
Tomás doesn’t know what to make of his well-spoken new servant girl. Her beauty and charm captivates the military hero; her mysterious nature intrigues him. And the desire she ignites burns brighter with each glance, as does his longing to claim her for his own.
Beatriz can’t resist Tomás’ passion nor deny the heat of her own. But neither the lush countryside nor the walls of the opulent Moorish castle can entirely protect her—and if he were to discover her secret, she could be torn away from him forever. Yet how can she sustain his love if she’s living a lie?

EXCERPT
Tomás paced, wanting to see Beatriz so badly he didn’t care
about her past in the least. There had to be a reasonable explanation as to
what she’d told the others. No matter what it might be, her history wasn’t
their business, anyway. She might be ashamed of where she’d come from, how
she’d lived, and told a more acceptable tale in order to hold her head high.
Who could blame her?
His wait seemed endless, but at last the hour for her
dusting had arrived. Her footfalls sounded in the hall.
The moment she was inside and had closed the door, he
crossed the room, pulling her into his arms. “I missed you so much I thought of
little else.”
He kissed her deeply, tenderly, then passionately, unable to
decide what he needed most. He swung her around, set her on her feet, and
trailed kisses over her temple, cheeks, forehead, and the tip of her nose. “Did
you miss me?”
Tears shone in her eyes.
“You did.” He hugged her as hard as he could without harming
her. “We need to talk. I have something to say.”
“I do too.”
He stilled at her forlorn tone and eased back. “Are you with
child?”
She shook her head quickly, her cap slipping to the side.
He righted the thing for her. “Are you ill?”
“No.”
“Your mamá is ailing again?”
“No. If you let me speak, I can tell you.”
“I have to go first. Please.” He held her hands. “I love
you. I have from the moment we met. These last days have been unbearable
without you. I want you near to me always, as my wife.”
She stared harder than Nuncio had. “What?”
Tomás grinned at how he’d surprised her this time, even
better than their day in the harem. “Wed me.”
The color drained from her face.
