But a dream that her son, reincarnated into a Roman family, is in danger forces her to face her fears and go in search of the child, before her prophecy has a chance to come true.Gaius Annius Bibulus has lived an unimpressive Roman patrician’s life since leaving the army and settling in Britannia. His only cause for pride is his motherless son, Cal. When the boy is kidnapped by Celts, as part of a plan to start a bloody rebellion, and a pale Celtic Seer predicts the event and what is to follow, he has no choice but to heed her warnings and let her lead him to where she dreams 'her son’ can be found.As the unlikely pair chase across Roman Britain in pursuit of the four-year-old child, love grows between them. But as time runs out for Cal, it also runs out for the reluctant lovers. Because a Roman Patrician cannot marry out of his class and a determined Celtic slave will not give herself freely to a man who owns her, nor stay with him if he seeks to do his duty by marrying another.

Set against the backdrop of beautiful Zimbabwe, Claire's Prayer is a Christian fiction romance like none you'll have read before.From the AuthorIt has been an exciting and fulfilling journey writing my first book in the Christian Romance genre. Being a Christian myself, it was important to keep Claire 'true to her faith'; but 'life happens' and at times our hearts lead us along difficult paths. I believe that love is the most powerful emotion we can experience, and this emotion is responsible for all of our actions. I am a Bible reader and a prayer, I truly believe God hears our prayers and intervenes in our lives when we pray. The main theme I wish to convey in 'Claire's Prayer' is that though we stumble at times, God is always waiting with open arms to restore us and forgive us.About the AuthorYvonne Cloete is a preschool teacher and author based in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she lives with her husband of thirty-one years, Michael. Together they have three children and three grandchildren. She grew up in Zimbabwe and lived there until 2002. Claire's Prayer is her first novel. Views: 42
