Her One Desire
By Kimberly Killion
Reviewed by Megan Kelly

Kimberly Killion has brought 15th century England to life in her debut novel, Her One Desire, due out in July from Zebra Books. She writes a splendid romance, imparting factual details with a deft hand.

Lizbeth Ives, daughter of King Edward’s Lord High Executioner, saves a Scottish spy, Broc Maxwell, from certain death at her father’s hands. They flee across England, pursued by a truly evil villain who conspires to kill the King. Broc must reach the protection of his homeland and take his place as laird of his clan, as well as honor the betrothal plans his father negotiated. Lizbeth seeks to bargain her father’s soul for the proof she possesses of the conspiracy against the King, knowing she will eventually live within the protection of the church.

Ms. Killion makes a fascinating time in history more accessible to the casual reader without overwhelming us with her research. The sexual tension sizzles, while Lizzy and Broc find their way to each other. This book is highly recommended, and the author is one whose future work I eagerly await.
