Storm (Bond)

A woman with no choice…For Tatiana Ashurst, there's no escaping destiny. Magically powerful and preordained to give birth to the most powerful Vallen priestess in seven generations, it's her duty to marry well. But she wants the same thing her twin sister has-the right to choose her own husband. For a woman like Tatiana, however, such a thing can never be permitted.A man who must choose…Kit Vallentyn would rather devote himself to overseeing the family estate. But his father insists it's time for an advantageous marriage-one centered on power and wealth. Reluctantly scouting the new crop of debutantes, he finds himself unaccountably attracted to a mysterious woman who is plain, penniless, ineligible… and utterly enchanting.A storm of desire…When Tatiana nearly uses her powers in public, Kit saves her from shocking the Georgian English society and revealing her abilities. Despite Kit's own magic strength, Tatiana is certain their marriage would never be possible. She just can't help being drawn to this handsome man who extends a spell of desire over her more powerful than any she can conjure. The only way to survive the storm looming on the horizon will be to have the courage to shed their secrets and discover their true destinies together.This is a 28,000 word novella.What Others Have Said About Storm on the Horizon{Meredith Bond} "knows how to write romance, and write it well!
