Torn between two powerful lords, pulled toward one infallible destiny…

On the hauntingly beautiful Isle of Mann, legends say that King Alban will cross paths with a maiden gifted in song who will one day be his queen. Alban finds that maiden in Estelle Percy, a young woman known as the “Songbird of Rushen Abbey” and reputedly the descendant of royalty. However, Alban isn’t alone in his quest to claim the Songbird. Lord William Percy has set his sights on Estelle, too.

As these two powerful men vie for Estelle’s heart, their lives become intertwined in a web of love, desire and deceit in this sweeping, romantic adventure.

  6. 5 Stars! HRC Reviewer’s Choice!
    The Songbird of Rushen Abbey is one of the most intense books I have ever read. You are sucked into the world of the unknown and love that knows no bounds… Just when you think you have the story figured out another curve comes at you. This is the love story of a lifetime. Every character in this book becomes the hero and the villain at some point throughout this book. How fortunate can one person be to experience the unconditional love of two powerful men. The medieval era would not be the same without this book. I guarantee you will fall in love with each character.
