Eryk by Hazel Hunter

An idyllic retreat becomes a battleground.

Working as the personal assistant for a celebrated actress should be a dream job, but for Rebecca Ward it’s become a nightmare. As the menial jobs and abuse mount, her only escape is the striking and kind steward of the castle that they’ve rented.
But Eryk isn’t what he appears. As a Blade Lord with a stake in two worlds, he has come to his castle with a solemn duty: to discover a rogue who seems bent on war. But instead he finds that the end to centuries of loneliness beckons, as a deep love for Rebecca blossoms.
Unbeknownst to them both, however, his keep has already been breached.
