A dangerous mission. A deadly secret. A desire that could ignite a war.
Michel de Chevalerie has spent years navigating the brutal territories of the Mongol Empire, protecting the precious trade routes between France and the East. As heir to a powerful duke, he’s a soldier, a diplomat—and a man who doesn’t make mistakes. Until her.
When a mysterious Mongolian woman stumbles into his path, injured and alone, Michel is drawn in by her sharp wit, fiery will, and beauty that makes his blood burn. He knows better than to get involved. But one reckless decision pulls him into a treacherous game of deception, desire, and political intrigue.
Eve is fleeing everything she’s ever known: a forced marriage, a bloodstained crown, and the enemies that hunt her like prey. Her only hope lies west—in the fabled lands of France. To get there, she’ll use every weapon at her disposal, including the charming nobleman leading a merchant caravan through her homeland. But what begins as a calculated seduction becomes something far more dangerous.
Michel might be her best chance at survival. He could also be the ruin of them both.
As secrets unravel and armies close in, Michel and Eve must decide what’s worth fighting for: duty, desire… or each other.
Devoted to His Sword is a steamy historical adventure romance filled with forced proximity, a runaway bride, grumpy/sunshine tension, and a journey across dangerous lands—perfect for fans of high-stakes love stories with epic backdrops and irresistible slow-burn tension.
Florence A. Bliss is an author from Las Vegas, NV who has a keen eye for writing love stories full of drama, heartache, humor, and enough passion to light the pages on fire. With an MFA in creative writing from UNLV, Florence loves to write across genres but has found her home in romance. She lives with her fancy Italian husband and two children. Together they love to travel, explore the ghost towns around Las Vegas, and roadtrip up and down the Pacific coast. (Luckily her husband takes great pictures so she doesn’t have to.) Florence is an avid people watcher and strives to understand why people do what they do, and she never tires of imagining the stories of what couples have had to overcome in order to come together.
