Winter's Child — S.L. Jesberger

An Epic Love in the Land of Alainnshire... When her lands and her people are given to mercenary Rafael Samuelson for "services rendered" to Boru, the King of Morrigan, Cara Tanner has two choices: she can resist him, or she can find a way to work with him. But Rafe Samuelson is a warrior, not a farmer. Already resenting being forced to take ownership of lands he doesn't want, he arrives at Sweetwood angry and spoiling for a fight. Cara and Rafe quickly collide in an uncompromising battle of wills. It doesn't take long for Rafe to realize that he's met his match in the fiery, amber-eyed Cara. Their audience with King Boru reveals a shocking secret and rekindles long-held vendettas, but it's Cara's resemblance to another woman that will soon put them both in the greatest danger. Fantasy, Romance, Adventure Excerpt from Winter's Child: "By the gods..." she heard Boru whisper as he got to his feet. And then he was standing in front of her, his hand rough on her jaw as he jerked her head up to look into her face. "Sweet mother, who are you?" Boru hissed, shaking her a little. "Damnit, what's your name, girl?" Cara stared up at him as tears came to her eyes. The grip he had on her jaw was brutal. "Cara. Cara Tanner. Don't you remember me? I'm Flynn and Maddie's daughter." "No, you're not. Flynn and Maddie found you on their doorstep. Who are you? Who are your real parents?""
