    About this ebook

    In Tudor London, Moire Noble's clandestine gift of premonition entwines her fate with the charismatic Thomas Astley, as they battle suspicion, desire, and danger to rewrite their destinies

     

    In the bustling streets of Tudor London, Moire Noble appears to be an ordinary daughter of a modest Scottish family. Yet, her reality is peppered with secrets far more enchanting. Gifted with the mystic power to glimpse the future, Moire treads carefully to protect her extraordinary ability, lest she meet the tragic fate that befell her mother—accused of witchcraft and condemned to the flames.

     

    Years have veiled Moire's unique talent, but as her twin sister Lili's engagement festivities beckon, the threads of her existence unravel. Bound to leave the sanctuary of her home and kin, Moire is thrust into a world teeming with unfamiliar faces and uncharted desires. A vision of impending doom at Lili's betrothal soirée compels Moire to take action, altering the course of fate.

     

    Thomas Astley is a man whose allure is as captivating as it is perilous. Drawn to Moire's spirited demeanor and quick wit, Thomas becomes an unexpected ally—unaware that his pursuit of her mysteries jeopardizes not only her future but also her very heart.

     

    As their lives intertwine amidst the grandeur and treachery of Tudor courtly affairs, Moire must navigate her precarious secrets while guarding against a love that threatens to consume them both. In this era of opulence and intrigue, will Moire's premonitions guide them toward salvation or plunge them into an inescapable abyss? Only time will tell, as passion and danger entwine in a tale of romance that defies all odds.

      PROLOGUE

      France, 1605

      Moire smiled at Ma and Lili as she kneaded a ball of bread dough. The pair stood across the counter from her working their own batches of the pliant mixture. A streak of flour coated Lili’s cheek, while Ma’s apron bore her handprints. Moire imagined she too must look a fright for when the baking was finished, she always did. How many loaves are we to make this day?

      Nae too many. Six ought to do. Ma flipped her dough, then began kneading it once more. We’ve four loaves ordered. Two for the manor house, and one each for the inn and Mrs. Moreau. ‘Tis good to keep a couple extras at the ready.

      The kitchen’s heat caused sweat to bead on Moire’s forehead, but she didn’t dare wipe it away. She blew out a breath as she continued working the dough, then glanced out the window. The sun was high in the sky, shining brightly on the village.

      You should not complain, Moire. Lili brushed a stray curl from her forehead leaving a fresh streak of white powder in her wake. ’Tis lucky we are that so many of the villagers purchase our baked goods.

      I wasn’t complaining. Moire peered at her twin. Simply asking a question.

      France had been good to her—to all of them. They’d built a pleasant home and a sustainable living here in the years since they’d fled Scotland. Da had his blacksmith shop and Aunt Ailis, who had become their mama years ago, supplemented the family's coin by selling her breads and pastries.

      Furthermore, the villagers had been kind and accepting when Moire's family settled here. Over the years, many had become their friends. She’d even begun a courtship with one of the town’s gentlemen. Bastien Roux had started calling on Moire a week prior, and she found herself rather taken with the handsome young man.

      Of course she was not in love, but believed with time the emotion could develop between them. A ghost of a smile turned her lips up at the thought. In fact, I feel blessed.

      Moire set the loaf she’d been working on aside and scowled at Lili as she reached for more flour. I hope never to leave France.

      Indeed. Lili’s expression faltered, her cheery disposition turning sour for a heartbeat. Forget I said anything.

      Moire grinned, satisfaction swelling within her. But trepidation followed in its wake. The way Lili faltered reminded her
