About The Sorcerer's Guardian:

Savarin, the most powerful sorcerer in Tournai, has honed his Talent through years of study and made magic his life. Among the wealthy and noble circles he moves in, no one would suspect the handsome, refined, and arrogant sorcerer’s humble beginnings, which is how Savarin prefers it. Tournai’s princes task Savarin with studying and strengthening the spells that protect the principality from magical attack. They are complex, centuries old, and exactly the type of puzzle Savarin is eager to solve. To his annoyance, the princes insist Loriot accompanies him.

Loriot worked his way up the ranks of the royal guard to captain and takes pride in his service. He must obey the princes’ orders to protect Savarin, despite believing his skills would be best used elsewhere. And despite his wariness of magic. UnTalented himself, he has learned not only the benefits of magic but also its potential for harm—and how to counter it. Loriot and Savarin clash during their journey, but there’s another reason for the tension between them, and passion develops into feelings neither expected. But Savarin must still fortify Tournai’s magical barrier, and his only solution endangers both him and the royal family.

The Scholar's Heart is out in the world, and the blog tour has ended. I have to say a big thank you to everyone who hosted me on the tour: Thianna Durston, MM Good Book Reviews, Anne Barwell, Aisling Mancy, Anna Butler, Oh My Shelves, The Novel Approach, Divine Magazine, the Purple Rose Teahouse, Love Bytes, Prism Book Alliance, House Millar, and Brynn Stein. I so appreciate your letting me visit to talk about The Scholar's Heart. Thank you to all of you who followed the tour too! I hope you had fun learning more about The Scholar's Heart and the Chronicles of Tournai series along the way. And a huge thank you to all of you who are buying and reading and reviewing The Scholar's Heart! I know that many of you were waiting for it, and I hope you're enjoying Etan and Tristan's story.

I also have a winner to announce. The winner of the blog tour giveaway is Wax Applelover! Congratulations!

And now for some exciting news and some updates for you. First, the news: I've just signed a contract with Dreamspinner for book 4 in the Chronicles of Tournai series, The Sorcerer's Guardian. Editing is set to begin next month for a release date sometime in November or December. So you should have another Tournai book by the end of the year. I'll keep you updated as the process gets started.

As for writing updates, I'm hard at work writing book 5 in the series too, and my brain is spinning with ideas for what comes after that. (I keep having to tell characters to wait their turns! They're not patient.) I'm also working on my other project as well, something contemporary that takes place in Savannah, Georgia. Though I've been concentrating a bit more on the Tournai book lately, I'm excited about this project too and looking forward to seeing where those characters take me.

Finally, I'll be selling and signing books at RWA-NYC's Romance Festival at the Morris-Jumel House in New York City on June 25th. The event is free and will include book discussions and lots of authors to meet. It's my first time attending as an author or a reader, and I'm excited. If you're in the area, I hope to see you there.

For the last day of The Scholar's Heart tour, I'm visiting Brynn Stein's blog with an excerpt. It's also the last day to enter the giveaway so make sure you do that before it ends and you miss your chance.

Also, Dreamspinner is having a sale--30% off the entire store--starting today. All of my books are included, even The Scholar's Heart, so it's a great time to stock up on some summer reading. 

Thanks for following along with the tour, everyone!

Youngest son of a royal duke, Etan is a scholar at heart who juggles his work for the prince with his studies of the history and legends of Tournai, something of particular interest to him because he shares the magical Talent that runs in the royal bloodline. Etan’s peaceful world turns upside down when his best friend—the man he secretly loves—unexpectedly marries a woman. Though Tristan values his friendship with Etan and has always been attracted to him, he is a dutiful son, raised to shoulder responsibility for the family business one day. That day comes far sooner than anticipated, and he makes a deathbed promise to his father to marry the woman his father chose and become head of the company and family.

A year later, Tristan is a widower with an infant daughter and a mother who demands he marry again quickly—something Tristan resists. Circumstances throw Etan and Tristan together, and even as they succumb to the desires they’ve always harbored, Etan battles his feelings, wary of being cast aside again. When Tristan’s daughter is kidnapped, Etan and Tristan must come together to find her, find the person responsible, and support each other through the ordeal… and maybe beyond.
