"Sanctuary of Roses made me wish I had taken a speed reading course! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!" -- K. Schratz
"With Sanctuary of Roses, I'm reminded how much I love medievals. Gleason is such a fine writer!" -- Award-winning author Norah Wilson
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Madelyne de Belgrume has lived in secrecy in a hidden abbey for years. Her mad, abusive father, Fantin, believes she is dead.
Lord Gavin Mal Verne wants nothing more than to seek revenge on Fantin de Belgrume ... and he has the king's blessing to bring the man to heel.
After a battle with Fantin that leaves Gavin nearly dead, he accidentally comes upon a hidden abbey ... and the beautiful, serene nun who helps to heal him, touching his heart in more ways than one.
When Gavin discovers Madelyne's true identity, she is forced to leave the sanctuary of the abbey and appeal to King Henry for succor.
To her horror, Madelyne learns she must either marry ... or be returned to her father's custody.
If you love the rich tapestry of medieval romances from Tina St. John, Paula Quinn, Roberta Gellis, Catherine Coulter and Julie Garwood, you'll love Sanctuary of Roses! |

Bracelets are just the right size. They are perfect for gift-giving because they?re easy to wear. They are the perfect project to try out a new beadweaving technique as well, because earrings are too small to sink your teeth into, and a necklace is a much larger commitment, not to mention intimidating at times. Beaded Bracelets will teach the reader 9 essential beadweaving stitches. One or more of the stitches will be used throughout 20 patterned projects. Step-by- step illustrations will make the projects easy to follow and the range of techniques used will appeal to beginners, intermediate beaders and seasoned beadweavers alike. |
