Their first kiss is provoked by jealousy and hurt on Etan's part and shocks Tristan. Tristan speaks first in this snippet.

Yay! The Scholar’s Heart is a friends to estranged friends to lovers fantasy romance and the third in the Chronicles of Tournai series, though it can be read as a stand alone, like the other books in the series.

You can find more about The Scholar's Heart here. The Scholar's Heart is currently 40% off at NineStar Press (along with my other books), and all of my books except The Scholar's Heart are 50% off this month at Smashwords, if you need some weekend reading. Stay safe, everyone.

I'm so excited that The Scholar's Heart is back out in the world today! This is the third book in my Chronicles of Tournai series (though, like the rest of the series, it can be read as a stand alone), and it's the friends to estranged friends to lovers story of Etan and Tristan finding their happily ever after. I've polished it up, but otherwise, the story hasn't changed from the original Dreamspinner edition—other than the gorgeous new cover by Natasha Snow—so if you already have it, you don't have to buy it again. And if you haven't read it yet, I hope you enjoy Etan and Tristan's romance and escaping into Tournai.

​Though he is the youngest son of a royal duke, Etan is a scholar at heart, happiest in a library surrounded by his books. He contentedly juggles his work for the prince’s government with his studies of the history and legends of Tournai, a subject of particular interest to him because he shares the secret magical Talent that runs in the royal bloodline. However, Etan’s peaceful world turns upside down when his best friend—the man he secretly loves—unexpectedly marries someone else.

Tristan is the oldest son of a wealthy merchant, 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. Tristan values his friendship with Etan and has always been attracted to him, but he can’t forsake his duty to his father, even if it means giving up the possibility of having Etan as a lover.

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 again, but even as they succumb to the desires they’ve always harbored, Etan battles his feelings, wary of being cast aside once more. When the unimaginable happens, Etan and Tristan must come together and support each other through the ordeal…and maybe beyond.

​Tristan was quiet for a moment and then scooted closer and rested his head on Etan’s shoulder. “I’m fine. A little tired. What are you up to?”

“Doing some reading.”

“For work or pleasure?”

Etan suppressed a shiver at the way Tristan’s voice shaped the word pleasure. Certainly, it had to be unconscious on Tristan’s part, but it put ideas into Etan’s head he didn’t want there, not yet, not when he and Tristan hadn’t spoken of feelings between them beyond friendship. But he could see those feelings were there.

The Scholar’s Heart will be back out in the world one week from today (though you can get in on Friday if you preorder from NineStar Press)! It’s the third book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, but it stands alone as the other books in the series do. This is Etan and Tristan’s story—a friends to estranged friends to lovers romance.

I’ve cleaned up the writing a bit, but otherwise the story remains the same as the original Dreamspinner edition. It does have a gorgeous new cover by Natasha Snow, though. (Please join me in squeeing over how beautiful it is!)
