Tomas Dyrease, the newly made Earl of Irvaine and the village of Wisenvale, owes his good fortune to his king and the recent civil war. When his benefactor demands Tomas marry the cousin of a noble, he obeys. However, no one warned him that she wasn’t a typical noblewoman.
Brielle Solarius struggles to keep her village from starvation under the new Lord Wisten, her cousin. The men rode off to war and never returned. The remaining women and children face a dire winter if they do not find a solution soon. When she learns her cousin sold her into marriage to save his life, she isn’t surprised. However, she is taken aback by Lord Irvaine’s unpolished ways. Was this man a noble or a foot soldier?
Bound by the words of their vows, they face a rough future. They must forge a marriage while battling betrayal, accusations of treason, and villains from the past. Survival depends on their precarious trust in each other. Failure could mean death.

Book Title: Duty (Novels of Rhynan)
Book Author: Rachel Rossano
What do you like about this book:
The first of a three part series, Duty was better than I anticipated. The kingdom of Rhynan finds itself in an upheaval following the overthrow of the government and the installment of a new king. Lord Irvine gives the women captives of Wisenvale the choice to marry one of his men or purchase their freedom. He has been ordered by King Mendal to marry Brielle Solarius. Though not too keen on the idea, she marries him from a sense of duty. Then the adventure starts and keep strong until the end.
