Stronghold eBook

All for Love: Book Three "Are you surprised that strength is drawn to strength?" For the last six years, the gypsy healer Raúl has lived a life he never dreamed possible. Gerrard Hawkins has stood at his side, his love a source of silent strength like nothing Raúl has ever known. When a letter from Gerrard's estranged father forces them in separate directions—Gerrard back to England to make peace with his family and Raúl to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for his annual pilgrimage—Raúl expects to suffer for their parting, but he holds on to their plans to meet again in France when Gerrard has satisfied his father's demands. Gerrard left England never expecting to return, especially after he pledged his life and love to Raúl. Yet he cannot dismiss his father's offer of peace without some acknowledgment. When he arrives in England to find tragedy, his sense of duty toward his family's tenants wars with his promises to Raúl. As tensions mount and illness spreads in France, Raúl stands as a bastion of hope, but his strength is not limitless. Gerrard is the rock he leans on, and without that strength, Gerrard's arrival in France may come too late.
