Publisher Description
Everyone has a secret, who can a queen trust?
Upon Queen Elizabeth's order, Audrey Hayes travels to the borderlands of Scotland to learn where the fierce Laird Armstrong's loyalties lie. Is he aligned with his mother's English roots in support of the queen, or does he hold with the beliefs of his father, who wishes to see Mary of Scots on the English throne? The fate of Audrey's family rests on her success in finding the answer.
After losing his lands in a wager and being betrayed by his kin, Gavin Armstrong entered a loveless marriage to obtain the funds to buy back his family home, Warring Tower. Now a widower, struggling against countless border wars, he is on the verge of losing his home and lands again. With few resources, he reluctantly makes another risky wager, one he cannot hope to win without trusting the secretive Audrey Hayes, a woman he suspects is an English spy.
As the two work together to save Warring Tower, their attraction to one another grows. But when Audrey finally gains the information she seeks for Queen Elizabeth, she realizes that the only way she can save her family is to betray the man she loves.
Customer Reviews
Tudor England? Yes!!
A well written, suspenseful addition to this fantastic series.
Must Read!
Olivia Rae is one of my all time favorite authors. A LIFE REDEEMED, part of a terrific series, is wonderful story with strong characters that will tug at your heartstrings. Can't wait for Book #3!
He may be damaged, but he is not unredeemable.
When everyone has a different goal, can anyone be trusted?
This wonderful story of intrigue and mystery is set on the border between England and Scotland. 1559 was a time of upheaval for those whose allegiance was to one side or the other. Queen Elizabeth was on the throne in England, but this was an unsettled time - would she be able to keep the throne?
Audrey, a former lady in waiting for Queen Mary, is coerced into a task not to her liking. She must travel from her home to be a spy for the queen in Liddesdale, near the Scottish border. Her cover as a companion to Lady Armstrong should allow her the freedom to find out all the information the queen wants.
Mystery and melancholy surround Warring Keep. The well developed characters each tell their own tale - one of guilt, questionable choices, lies and more. How shall our humble young lady find anything of importance? Will bringing these mysteries to light allow lives to be redeemed or are they destined to remain as they are?
