Seeking Love, Finding Heart: Terrina's Journey (New Earth Book 2)

Terrina was alone, or at least she felt that way most of the time. Surrounded by a family and tribe of her friends, she could barely find any reason to be happy about her life. At seventeen she had been presented as a woman to her tribe and had since been miserable. Two years of wondering who might hold some affection for her now that she could marry. Two long years of waiting for someone to notice her had gotten to be enough. Her childhood friends were all married. Two years before, Terrina had watched her best friend Keilana marry the warrior Tabrik. Even though she was happy for her friend, she had lost a part of herself when Keilana left. Now it was all she could do to face each day and live down the humiliation of being unmarried and unwanted. Fed up with being constantly shy and awkward, Terrina knew she needed to escape her situation if she was ever to change it. The night she decided to change her life for good, Terrina was certain that Jerul would spoil it for her. But imagine her surprise when instead of turning her in to the council, the warrior decided to take her to Keilana's tribe himself. Unfortunately, once they got there,Terrina couldn't make him leave. Despite his monitoring, she managed to win the affection of more than one man and finally become the woman she knew was inside of her. The more she blossomed, the more Jerul seemed determined to always be in the way, and she was sure he would report her unacceptable behavior to the council as soon as they returned home. Not to be outdone, when Terrina sees Jerul in suspicious activity she follows him to find out what he is doing and finds them both in a dangerous situation of her making.
