The Legend of Lyon Redmond
Pennyroyal Green #11
By: Julie Anne Long
Releasing September 29, 2015
Avon
Blurb
Bound by
centuries of bad blood, England’s two most powerful
families maintain a veneer of civility...until the heir to the staggering
Redmond fortune disappears, reviving rumors of an ancient curse: a Redmond and
an Eversea are destined to fall disastrously in love once per generation.
An enduring legend
Rumor has
it she broke Lyon Redmond’s heart. But while many a man has since wooed the
dazzling Olivia Eversea, none has ever won her—which is why jaws drop when she
suddenly accepts a viscount’s proposal. Now London waits with bated breath for
the wedding of a decade…and wagers on the return of an heir.
An eternal love
It was
instant and irresistible, forbidden...and unforgettable. And Lyon—now a driven,
dangerous, infinitely devastating man—decides it’s time for a reckoning. As the
day of her wedding races toward them, Lyon and Olivia will decide whether their
love is a curse destined to tear their families part...or the stuff of which
legends are made.
Excerpt from The Legend of Lyon Redmond:
She didn’t hear
him.
She was transfixed
in horror by the first words on the page.
The Legend of Lyon Redmond
Her breath left her
in one painful gust, surely as though a broom handle had been driven into her
ribs.
But the worst was
yet to come.
Oh, if you thought you’d never see
A bride called Olivia Eversea
Well come along with me, lads, come along
with me!
Her pretty self was on the shelf
And at last a-wed she’ll be.
Oh, everyone thought
It was all for naught
And she’d dry up and blow away.
But will Redmond return
And make her burn
For the love of yesterday?
Sensation abandoned her
limbs.
Where oh where did Redmond go?
Why oh why did he flee?
Is he riding the Nile on a crocodile?
Or did he take to the wide open sea?
Did a cannibal eat ’im?
Is he living in Eden
With Adam and Eve and the Snake?
Did Miss Eversea scare ’im
Into the arms of a harem
Where he lolls about like a sheik?
Shock reverberated
through her as though she’d been driven into the ground with a mallet.
And all the while
the little chorus behind her sang on.
Someone back there,
she thought irrationally, had a lovely baritone.
