Love or duty -- which would you choose? Prince Severin has been brought up to put duty before all else. Now, his duty is to marry and produce an heir. He has his choice of princesses. Unfortunately, his passion is for princes. Havyn has been a slave all his life. When his powers are discovered, he finds himself purchased and freed by a Prince and apprenticed to the royal wizard, Ildar. His duty is to stay chaste to keep his powers strong. Unfortunately, his passion is for Severin. With kingdoms at war, the throne hanging in the balance, and magic in the air, can the two men find happiness together, or is duty more important than love?
“What is going on in here?” demanded Ildar from the doorway.
“Severin? What are you doing with my apprentice?”
“Iri and I were just sorting out Havyn’s new wardrobe,” said
Severin, waving to Havyn that he could get dressed again. Havyn quickly pulled
on the tunic and leggings Ildar had given him on his first night at the palace.
A fierce blush heated his cheeks.
“Havyn is my apprentice!” snapped Ildar. “He is my
responsibility. Furs and velvets? Silks? A wizard has no need for all of that.
I will ensure Havyn gets all the clothing he needs, not you.”
Havyn wondered how the wizard could talk back so forcefully
to a prince without worrying about execution. Maybe wizards had no fear of
death.
“He’s my responsibility,” protested Severin, his hands on
his hips as he stared the wizard down. “I bought him. He’s mine!”

Annette Gisby grew up
in a small town in Northern Ireland. Being a very small town there were no
bookshops and a small library. When she'd devoured every book she could get her
hands on in the library, she started writing her own stories so that she would
always have something to read.
When not writing she enjoys reading, playing The Sims,
cinema and theatre. She loves to travel, especially ancient castles and
deserted beaches, great places for inspiration.
She currently lives in Hampshire with her husband, a
collection of porcelain dolls and enough books to fill a library. The library
is diminishing gradually since the discovery of ebooks but still has a long way
to go.

Time for me to expand my reading horizons with some m/m historical romance. This one sounds pretty interesting!
