Guardian Duke

The Guardian Duke by Jamie Carie
Book One in the Forgotten Castles Series out March 2012

Dear Reader,

A devastated duke.
A girl of lonely exile.
Both have a path to follow, a heart's desire to find, and choices that could change their lives forever.
Do you ever wonder if you are on that perfect path for your life? Are you "following your passion" and "finding your gift?" These popular catch phrases make us stop and ponder our lives and the direction we are going. While there is nothing wrong with that, we must keep in mind Matthew 6:33. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (KJV) This entire chapter in Matthew is amazing! It contains the Lord's Prayer, instructions about our treasure (our gifts and calling), our money, our needs and the worries over those needs and then it ends with an exhortation to trust and seek God for everything. A true blueprint for life kind of chapter.
But let's be honest. To really live in that place every day with all the storms and trials, the challenges and distractions? Well, it's only possible with God's help. And my characters, these wonderful characters who I love as if they were real people, are no different.
My hero - the brilliant Duke of St. Easton - wants his affliction healed and taken away. And he wants love on his terms. He wants his control back even though he was miserable when he had it.
My heroine - sweet, determined Alexandria - wants what she can't have. And she'll stop at nothing when it comes to taking care of her own heart.
Their journey is like ours - that push and pull against God - the desire to find freedom and purpose on earth but in our timing and our way because His way is too hard or scary or just doesn't make sense.
Dear Reader, join me on this journey with Gabriel and Alexandria as they struggle to come to the end of themselves. I pray we might too lift up our lives as a sacrifice and in that place come face to face with the living God.
