Author: Jamie Carie
Genre: YA Historical Romance
Release Date: July 1, 2012
Blurb:
Tethered by her impulsive promise to marry Lord John Lemon - the path
of least resistance - Alexandria Featherstone sets off toward Iceland
in search of her parents with a leaden heart. A glimpse of her guardian,
the Duke of St. Easton - the path less traveled by - on Dublin’s shore
still haunts her. Will he come after her? Will he drag her back to
London, quelling her mission to rescue her treasure-seeking parents, or
might he decide to throw caution to the wind and choose Foy Pour Devoir:
“Faith for Duty,” the St. Easton motto. The Featherstone motto Valens
et Volens: “Willing and Able,” beats in her heart and thrums through her
veins. She will find her parents and find their love, no matter the
cost. The powerful yet wing-clipped Duke of St. Easton has never known
the challenge that has become his life since hearing his ward’s name.
Alexandria Featherstone will be the life or the death of him. Only time
and God’s plan will reveal just how much this man can endure for the
prize of love. 
It felt right. She was right not to give up.
She
imagined sailing around the world like this, with John at her back to
protect her and keep her buoyed against life’s gale winds and her love
holding him up. They could do that- together-couldn’t they? She couldn’t
imagine anything better.
The duke’s face, her guardian
duke, rose up from behind her close eyes. As jolting as the sharp wind,
she saw his piercing green eyes. Like the screeching cry of an eagle,
she saw him snap his head around and stare into her eyes, impaled,
caught in a spell she’d never encountered before. Fear and then
determination filled her as she stood up to it, met it with the sky blue
of her gaze turned to blue topaz.
Emeralds and topaz.
Alexandria
looked at John and saw gold- such a golden man. He would hold her and
carry her and help her. He would be the setting for her light blue
stone, allowing it to glitter and shine. He would support her against
the blows of life while her guardian would glitter brighter than her. If
Gabriel and she came together, they would have to make God their
setting. Her breath caught with the thought.
