title: To Guard Her Heart
author: Hartman, Ginny
description: Rosalind Harcourt, princess of Darth, is the only daughter of the lesser king of the southwest. As her entrance into womanhood is approaching, she is expected to make an advantageous match, but marriage is the furthest thing from her mind. When unspeakable tragedy befalls the kingdom, Terric de Valles, the High King's lead defender, is charged to protect Princess Rosalind and bring her safely into hiding. He has sworn an oath to King Cedric promising not to divulge the tragic circumstances to the lovely princess, though it pains him immensely to do so. Terric believes that the violet-eyed girl who has weaved her spell around him deserves to be told the truth, but he is duty bound to the King. Though Rosalind is drawn to Terric by an unspoken attraction, when he is finally forced to reveal to her the painful truth of her circumstance, it makes it hard for her to trust him. When the once guarded secret reveals an ugly truth, Rosalind finds her entire world turned upside down. And, to make matters more confusing, a magical power begins to manifest itself in her, a power she can't even begin to understand. And though she is confident that Terric has the ability to keep her safe from physical harm, will he be able to guard her heart as well? Join the unlikely pair on an adventure of intrigue, magic, and love as they both struggle to make sense of the unexplained occurrences surrounding them in hopes of reuniting their two hearts before it's too late.
