About A Tale of Lace and Iron by L.J Hayes
In a world ruled by duty and tradition, love may be the most dangerous rebellion of all.
Lady Sybil Harbird was bred for courts and corsets, not blood-stained sand and stolen nights in underground arenas. Trapped by the expectations of her noble birth, her only freedom lies in the shadows—where even a duke’s daughter can shed the restrictions of her gilded cage.
Deacon Redmond, stoic captain of the household guard, was forged in war and bound by honor. Sworn to protect Sybil, he’s spent years trying to keep the reckless heiress from harm. But when duty and desire begin to blur, his oath becomes a chain he can no longer bear.
In the shadow of Sybil’s impending betrothal, the two of them are forced to face the truth of their feelings. Can a man who lives by a code of honor break the vows he’s made and risk everything for a love he was never meant to have? Or will duty tear them apart, leaving them both hollow and heartbroken?
A Tale of Lace and Iron is a steamy, standalone historical romance set in a world inspired by the 17th century’s exploration and colonization era—a story of rebellion, forbidden love, and the high cost of freedom.
