Description:
A
prince from the Nyth Uchel mountains … a healer from the Oshtech
desert …
Scornfully
rejected by her desert lover and uncertain of her place in the world,
Adonia traveled a perilous road to the fabled mountain-city of Nyth
Uchel. She came to heal the sick and dying, but in the arms of
highborn prince, Hel, Adonia found the answer to saving herself.
Descended
from nobility, once great kings of Verdantia, Hel willingly bore the
burden of his dying city and its people on his shoulders. Watching
helplessly as a malingering evil attacked the very soil under his
feet, he crushed his pride to summon help. He’d been staggered to
discover the answer to saving his city and perhaps all Verdantia
might lie behind a heavy fall of chocolate hair and shy brown eyes.
As
their entire planet faces an encroaching black death, two seemingly
disparate individuals forge a partnership of love and sacrifice that
will alter their future forever. All of Verdantia will be tested.
Stand
alone. Not a cliff-hanger. HEA 360 pages. M/F, Mild D/s themes, light
spanking, and an over-sexed but sensitive prince with a hero complex.

Quotes
from the book:
“Yes.
I know all about soul-wraiths.” Ramsey frowned. “How did you
avoid them in the past?”
“Set
a perimeter of energized diaman crystal. That will keep them at bay.”
Hel smiled without humor. “I have the diaman crystal in my saddle
pack. I lack a sexual partner to energize them. I had intended to
return with a magistra but a magister will work as well. Care to
volunteer?”
“Only
if I top,” Ramsey snapped.
“You’d
have to kill me first,” returned Hel.
“With
pleasure.”
Steffania
took a breath. Ram cut her off. “No. I don’t share you, Vixen.”
Fear
of the unknown almost froze Adonia’s tongue, but she was the
obvious answer. She could do this. The opportunity would never
present itself again. “I’ll be your partner.”
He
would have seduced her into the erotic world his particular carnality
demanded and reveled in the passionate response he knew he could draw
from her. She would submit to him gladly. The Goddess had created her
for it. The woman gloried in serving.
Sadly,
his world was not that world any longer. Brutal practicality stripped
his relationships of any niceties and turned sex into another duty
performed for those who looked to him for protection.
Steffania
shook her head in mock sorrow. “I’ve heard it said people never
grow up. They merely learn how to behave in front of others.” She
leaned over and whispered loudly, “Ramsey has done neither.”
"It’s
a delicious contradiction. He is never more wholly mine than when I
am under his total control, in complete service to him.”
Excerpt:
A
third male crossed his arms over his chest and with a low rumble of
laughter, relaxed his stance. “DeHelios. Ha! The last time I saw
you, you sprawled unconscious in a shrub leaving a lovely piece of
horseflesh in need of an owner.”
Hel
studied the speaker. He knew that laconic drawl—but its owner was a
criminal with no love for Verdantian nobility. What was this man
doing here? “Ramsey DeKieran, you nefarious thief! You owe me the
price of that fine horse. You fell on me from a tree, you coward. I
never had a chance.”
Ramsey
snorted. “Still an egotistical ass. You should be grateful I took
only the horse. Your head is still nicely attached.” He caught the
eyes of the other two men. “Gentlemen, that tower of smelly fur is
‘Hel’. You may know him by a different name. The Haarb called him
bás dtost—the silent death.” Ramsey rolled his eyes.
Hel
raised his lip in a snarl at Ramsey’s mockery. “Such illustrious
company, DeKieran. Your status in the world seems to have risen—but
then it could hardly have fallen lower.”
Ramsey
grunted. “Unlikely, eh? You may address me as Lord DeKieran,
Fifteenth Earl of House DeKieran, and the striking redhead preparing
to unman you from ten feet away is my wife, Lieutenant Colonel
Steffania Rickard of the Queen’s Blue Daggers. Be careful with your
words, Hel. My vixen is wicked with a throwing knife and takes
insults to me personally.”
Hel
arched an eyebrow in surprise and nodded at the glorious redhead
measuring him with amused golden eyes. “Ma’am, my condolences on
your marriage. I assume you had no choice.”
My Review
Hers To Claim is an interesting read.
The way the story started is good.
I was intrigued about the story and the characters.
The characters, Hel and Adonia are good.
Hel, an interesting prince that will do
everything in his power to save his people.
Adonia, a dedicated healer that will do her best to help the
people she loved and others.
Both characters are interesting and inspiring.
The other characters, Ramsey and Steffania are also good.
I love the all.
The story, it's interesting and good.
I love the concept and the flow.
It's easy to relate with and follow.
I love the twist and turns if the story.
Interesting and exciting.
Loved it!!
