Conor's Mate and Blaik's Desire
(2020)(The third book in the Elven Conceptions series)
A novel by Jade Astor
Two complete novellas:
Conor’s Mate
Elven Bearer Prince Conor has mixed emotions when his betrothal to a foreign king is arranged as part of a peace treaty. After a difficult voyage, he finally meets King Lyndor for the first time and is pleasantly surprised to find the king attractive, charming, and kind—the ideal father for the hoped-for royal heir. Their initial flirtation goes well, and the bonding ceremony proceeds smoothly except for the unexpected arrival of Solen, one of the king’s political rivals.
Though rumors suggest that Solen is descended from the City of Mages and secretly practices magic, Conor prefers to believe Solen’s claim that he is simply at the wedding to wish his cousin the king well. Then, without warning, the previously happy arrangement seems to go awry. After the ceremony, the king’s behavior becomes cold and withdrawn—as though he has been bewitched. Conor searches for a way to rescue his mate and give him the son to secure his dynasty.
Blaik’s Desire
Elven Bearer Conor and King Lyndor happily await the birth of their heir, but Conor’s visiting brother Blaik is nowhere near as content. Blaik, also a Bearer, finds himself smitten with Lord Gothec, a confirmed bachelor who claims he has no need of a mate or an heir. Blaik’s desire seems hopeless until he discovers that Gothec’s gruff exterior is merely a shield meant to disguise his true feelings. Faced with losing Blaik, Gothec surprises the court, and especially Blaik, by asking King Lyndor to sanction their betrothal.
Blaik is delighted when he finally wins Lord Gothec’s heart, only to discover that his own father has arranged his betrothal to a foreign king who needs an heir. Diplomacy demands he go through with the match, especially when a deadly plot is uncovered in the palace. Though Blaik and Gothec continue to meet in secret, doing so soon puts both their lives in danger, along with the child Blaik discovers he is carrying.
