Bound by Honor (Book 1 in the Legacy of Love Series)
"Bound by Honor" launches the Legacy of Love series in the tumultuous year of 1453, as the Hundred Years' War draws to its bitter close.
Lady Isolde de Valcourt lives a life carefully measured by duty and honor, bound to her politically ambitious husband, Lord Edwin, in a marriage arranged for power rather than love. Her quiet acceptance of her fate is shattered when Sir Lucien Beaumont returns from the battlefields of Aquitaine, carrying both physical scars and the memory of a passion they once shared.
As England's grip on France crumbles and the winds of war howl through castle corridors, Isolde finds herself caught between her sworn obligations and the undeniable pull of a love she thought long buried. Sir Lucien, though injured in body, remains unshaken in his devotion to both his country and the woman he has never stopped loving.
Their forbidden romance blooms like a rose among thorns, each stolen moment weighted with the price of discovery. Against the backdrop of England's darkest hour, as territory and influence slip through noble fingers like sand, Isolde must make an impossible choice: remain faithful to her vows and title, or risk everything for a chance at true love.
Set in a world where alliances shift like battlefields and hearts wage wars of their own, "Bound by Honor" weaves a tale of passion, duty, and the courage required to defy the bonds of convention. As the first installment in the Legacy of Love series, it sets in motion an epic saga spanning centuries, where the eternal struggle between duty and desire shapes the destinies of generations to come.
