Templar knights defied
the archangels and unearthed the copper scroll, revealing the gates to hell.
Cursed for their forbidden act, they forever roam the earth protecting mankind
from evil. But darkness stalks them, and battles they fight bring them
ever-closer to eternal damnation. One promise remains to give them salvation –
the return of the seraphs.
Embittered by his
purpose, Merrick du Loire must honor an ancient pact and bring peace to his
cousin’s soul. When he stumbles upon history professor Anne MacPherson, he
discovers she possesses a sacred artifact that marks her as a seraph. Duty
demands he set aside his personal quest and locate the knight she’s fated to
heal. As he struggles with conflicting oaths, Anne arouses buried hope and
sparks forbidden desire that challenges everything he’s sworn to uphold.
Anne has six weeks to
complete her thesis on the Knights Templar. When Merrick
takes her to the Templar stronghold, he presents her with all she needs—and
awakens a soul-deep ache, he alone can soothe. Yet loving Merrick
comes with a price. If she admits she's destined for him, her gift of foresight
predicts his death.
Immortal Hope had me hooked from page one all the way to the
end. Riveting and intriguing twist on
the Templar knights Claire Ashgrove has a new fan. I loved the detail to the history of the Templar
and the chemistry between Anne and Merrick.
You could almost feel Merrick’s
frustration at his attraction to Anne whom he thought was meant for one of the
other men. Then there is Anne who can
see what is going to happen but yet she still wants Merrick
she just has to make sure he doesn’t find out the truth of which man she truly
belongs to. I am anxiously awaiting the
next installment in this series and they have a reserved spot on the keeper
shelf.
