Book excerpt: A Man of Power, Patience and Passion Power… When Griffydd DeLanyea departed his ship in Dunloch, he thought his stay would last no more than a fortnight. Unbeknownst to Griffydd, Diarmad MacMurdock, the man he had come to see, was not merely interested in a trade alliance…. Patience… Griffydd always believed that good things came to those who waited, but the Welshman had never wanted anything as badly as he wanted Diarmad's daughter Seona…. Passion… Whether in battle or in love, Griffydd preferred to guard his feelings carefully. But the day would come when Seona would be his wife.
