Description
FOREVER HER MAN
They'd been together since they were babes. Wil and Issy, joined at the hip. Closer than best friends, they knew each other's minds. They were family.
As teenagers, Wil knew Issy would be his forever. But the fiercely independent Isabeau couldn't see the future Wil imagined.
He left to become the King's Guard, and returned home after seven long years to fulfill a mission for his king. Still harboring a bruised heart, he could barely stand to be around Issy knowing how they'd left things. Now a woman in her own right, she was more beautiful and more independent than ever.
What he couldn't know was how she felt about him, and how time had seasoned her plans for the future.
Advance Praise
"What a winner! Michele James has a bestseller in this novel. I like how she builds her story. She helps to take the reader at the moment, pulling in the elements of the scene. Her character development is perfection. James takes you into the psyche and that takes this to a brilliant book."
"Great story with love, passion, mysticism, adventure and betrayal. The author blends historical fact and intriguing fiction seamlessly. I bonded with the wonderful characters, human and animal. Can’t wait for the next generation of Foretold!"
"With each new book this author puts out, I seem to find myself with a new favorite. Her stories just keep getting better and better. As much as I loved Talon and Lara's story, seeing the lifelong love between Will and Issy was everything I didn't know I wanted in this sequel. As always, I can't wait to see what comes next!"

Featured Reviews
LOVE LOVE LOVE this sequel! The childhood story of Wil and Issy falling in love was perfect; it tied in so nicely with the bond they had formed in Warrior Mine. There was a touch of humour, and the characters were well-developed. Because I read Warrior Mine, I was looking forward to meeting with Talon and Lara again and hoped there would be a 'scene' with them, but I never got that. You can read this as a standalone, but I would read Warrior Mine because it is a great read. I was so excited that I read this book in one sitting.
What a pleasant surprise, I so enjoyed this romance, Wil and Issy have been friends all through childhood and when Issy was sixteen Will professed his love and when Issy didn't reciprocate Will left town. Now Will has returned, will Issy accept his love or reject it.
I understand why Issy did what she did. This book let's tou tag along on the journey of two childhood friends who fall in love and navigate life's upside and downs. I throughly enjoyed this journey and I think you will as well.
I love a story about childhood friends to lovers and this one is basically from birth. The author paints a beautiful friendship filled with adventures and trust and a life destined together except, in a unfortunate turn things didn't quite work out the way one had hoped. Now, seven years apart, Issy is a landowner breeding horses, and Wil is the King's guard and their lives are brought back together. The hurt and confusion of the separation still lingers. Both have questions that need answers but can they get past their hurt feelings to get the questions answered. Nothing is ever that easy and add in a good helping of mystery and you have a book that is hard to put down. The author quickly makes us fall in love with the main characters and the development of the story moves fast enough to keep the reader's attention. I personally love a story that also ties in animals which this one has several. The author also doesn't over complicate the storyline but yet still throws in a few twists that are unexpected. I truly enjoyed the story.
