The Scholar

The Divided Star Series, #4

Constantine was fine with being the outsider. He had made his own promises to the war goddess, and he would make sure each of them was fulfilled. Doing that didn’t require him to be friendly. However, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy when he sees each of his comrades connect with the one meant for them. He kept his distance, but if one were to delve deep into his mind, they would discover his need for inclusion. That could never happen. He was destined for a life of solitude. He would never ask another to help him shoulder the burden of who he was. Yet, when he finally sees the one linked to him, even he cannot stop the seed of hope from taking root; despite the challenges they were about to face.

            The world of yesterday was the world Lily lived in. She preferred books to people, and her space was her sanctuary. And though she was the leading expert in ancient languages at the museum where she worked, she only merged with the outside world when absolutely necessary.  That all changed when the prophecy she had been told about as a child, begins to unfold. She was the keeper of knowledge, she knew what was coming, and knew certain things must happen—in order. But order was the last thing on her mind when two, huge, sexy warriors, showed up at her door. One looked as though he was looking for fun night out with his laughing brown eyes, while the other devoured her with a look. She may be the keeper of knowledge, but she never saw him coming.
