Danger's Promise
Marliss Moon
A warrior known as the Slayer seeks redemption for the sake of his newborn son...
1996 Golden Heart Finalist, Marliss Moon, brings you her
dazzling debut novel. A desperate woman calls upon the
might of notorious Slayer to save her family. A dark
warrior finds redemption in the arms of a woman who
believes in his goodness. Christian de la Croix desires a better life for his
son than what he had. Yet Simon is already at a
disadvantage. His father is the notorious Slayer, a man
whose reputation causes peasants to cross themselves in
terror. His mother is dead—some say killed by the Slayer’s
own hand. Poor little Simon is in peril of dying, and
Christian is helpless to prevent it. With auspicious timing, a wetnurse appears at Christian’s
castle. Could she be an angel of mercy, her hair the color
of heaven’s fire? Or is she a spy sent by his enemy,
Ferguson? Only one thing is certain: her creamy breasts,
her haughty speech and bold demeanor ignite in Christian a
feverish desire to claim her for himself. Clarise du Bois has been given an ultimatum. She must
infiltrate the Slayer’s castle and kill the man, else her
mother and sisters will be hanged. Yet how is she to kill
the father of a helpless babe, especially when he is not
the bloodthirsty warrior she expected? His hungry gaze
draws her like a moth to flame. His skill with a sword
steals her breath. Dare she hope she has found a champion
to challenge her stepfather? Or will the Slayer strike her
down for pretending to be something she is not? Read Danger’s Promise to discover if a
warrior’s dark heart is beyond redemption or if love has
the power to save him.
