Sacrifices For Kingdoms: A Provocative Romance Torn Between Continents and Cultures (The Sacrifices and Kingdoms Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
IN A WORLD WHERE LOVE BATTLES TRADITION, ONE COUPLE’S PASSION IGNITES A FIRESTORM OF INTRIGUE.
Elizabeth is on a mission. She’s a tempest of conviction, an activist and philanthropist from the vibrant lands of Trinidad with a desire to change the world. But everything becomes more complicated when she meets Michael, a socially conscious European prince with a heart as noble as his lineage.
Elizabeth, with her commanding presence and thought-provoking speeches on equality, becomes a beacon of change. Her fearless dedication to her cause earns her admiration and love from some, but also paints a target on her back from religious extremists. Michael, bound by duty yet driven by a deep-seated desire to protect Elizabeth, finds himself in a precarious balance between his royal obligations and the dictates of his heart.
As their love story unfolds, Elizabeth and Michael navigate a treacherous path of political intrigue, secret adversaries, and the stark reality of their divergent worlds. The question remains: How much are they willing to sacrifice for their kingdoms, their beliefs, and each other?
Elizabeth and Michael's sensual love story crosses continents and cultures, places and races, and captures the heart and imagination while reminding us that we each have our own kingdom for which we make sacrifices.
Romantic, spicy, thought-provoking, and daring, Sacrifices For Kingdoms is the first novel in the Sacrifices and Kingdoms trilogy. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Barbara Taylor Bradford, and Nora Roberts.

Editorial Reviews
Review
--The Mommies Reviews
"The storyline is filled with adventure as two people fight against the boundaries of their roles to find happiness together. The cliffhanger gives readers hope that the characters will continue the battle in a future installment. Sacrifices For Kingdoms provides a steamy contemporary romance sandwiched between duty and desire."
—Novels Alive
"Patricia D'Arcy Laughlin is a born storyteller. Normally, the Trinidadian shares stories of exotic travels and life experiences, however, recently she has been telling a new story, one of love and power. The novel is a love story that also tackles unromantic topics such as history, equality and religion."
—Sarasota Observer
"I found this novel incredibly enjoyable. It is a wonderful, engaging and well-written story that captures the reader's attention and holds it. What I particularly liked about this novel was how it combined a fairy-tale-like story with a presentation of substantive and provocative issues involving themes of sexism and developed religions. In short, it is very much an adult fairy tale that makes you think. At the end, I was left wanting more. I cannot wait for the sequel. In a nutshell, this is an engaging, entertaining, fanciful, and thought-provoking novel that captures your imagination. Well done."
—Dr. Larry R. Thompson, J.D., M.S., B.A., President, Ringling College
"Old-fashioned romance spins its web of danger and entanglement into contemporary lifestyles as lives collide between a sophisticated young woman, a European prince, and their mysterious other loves. Sexuality, controversy, and jet-setting make this a great read to engage your fantasies."
—Karen L. Neilinger, M.A. & Int'l. M.B.A and Co-Author of the book, Think Rich! Get Rich! Stay Rich!
"This tale of passionate romance laced with intrigue completely captured my attention. The rich detail, like a painting, is a treat for the senses and is mesmerizing. I became obsessed with the journey of these engaging, beautiful characters. In addition, provocative discussions of religion, environment and sexism give the story an extra dimension. I was particularly enamored with the panorama of mores, music, fashion, and culture presented from the U.S.A., Europe, the Caribbean and beyond. Kudos to the author on the well-researched and compelling love saga with the hopeful expectation of more to come!"
