A Faerie Tale Romance-Pretty Good

Princess Arien is a member of the magical sect the Moondancers who are bound to serve Mother Moon only in goodness and to remain virgins throughout their service. When Arien uncovers a plot by her sister Edana to entrap a nobleman named Dane Haversin into marriage to tap his life energy to strengthen her dark magic, Arien seeks out the elusive Dwarf under the rock for advice on how to stop Edana. The Dwarf tells her that Dane is her destiny and true love and the only way to stop Edana is to marry Dane herself, Arien believes there must be another way. IF she is not a virgin she can never become high priestess. Arien has always kind of loved Dane even after their first meeting years ago, when he pleas with her to stop Edana she knows she must do something. Dane doens't trust the Moondancers because one placed a curse on his dead wife and unborn son killing them, but he is drawn to something in Arien. When Edana puts a spell on Dane and attempts to rape him, Arien intercedes and in the process ends up making love to and then out of honor being forced into marrying Dane. Dane is bitter because he feels Arien tricked him into the marriage, when she says she had no choice but to do what she did to save him he doesn't believe her. However, he desires her physically and soon she is pregnant. Dane has forbid Arien to use her magic and in doing so almost cost her life, and soon they realize their love for each other. So begins the real trials to save the Moondancers, the kingdom and their lives.....This was a well written and interesting story. I was a little aggravated with Dane because he asked Arien for help and then gave her a hard time for giving it.
