Stronghold - Tachna, Ariel

. .

Résumé :
All for Love: Book Three Are you surprised that strength is drawn to strength? For the last six years, the gypsy healer Ra?l has lived a life he never dreamed possible. Gerrard Hawkins has stood at his side, his love a source of silent strength like nothing Ra?l 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 Ra?l to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for his annual pilgrimage-Ra?l 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 Ra?l. 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 Ra?l. As tensions mount and illness spreads in France, Ra?l 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.

Biographie:
Lorsqu' Ariel Tachna avait douze ans, elle a d?couvert deux choses : la langue fran?aise et les romans d'amour. Ces deux amours l'ont d?finie depuis. Au moment o? elle terminait le lyc?e, elle avait ?crit quatre romans que personne ne voudrait lire aujourd'hui, mettant en vedette une jeune femme qui ?tait - vous l'aurez devin? - bilingue. Cette fille ?tait tout ce qu'Ariel voulait ?tre ? douze ans et qu'elle n'?tait pas.
Elle vit maintenant dans la banlieue de Houston avec son mari (qui parle ?galement fran?ais), ses enfants (qui comprennent le fran?ais, m?me lorsqu'ils sont trop paresseux pour le parler) et leurs deux chiens (qui refusent obstin?ment de r?pondre aux ordres en fran?ais).
