Love lost.... Scottish rugby star Tristan MacGregor's world comes crashing down when his beloved father, a man of faith, commits adultery. Striving to pick up the pieces, he spurns his father's God, turns to professional rugby as his salvation, and swears off women.
Especially stalwart women of God like Qeziah del Fierro.
Love redeemed. But ravishing Filipina artist Qeziah lives out Christ boldly, and Tristan cannot help but be drawn to the mysterious radiance in her--an intangible quality unlike any other woman's he has known. More than her undeniable beauty, what was it about her that takes his breath away?
Unable to restrain his feelings any longer, Tristan vows he will be committed to Qeziah for life. But an earth-shattering revelation from her leaves Tristan on his knees, shamed that his self-proclaimed ironclad devotion isn't even strong enough. Just like his father's.

A Seal upon the Heart is a must-read. ... I saw Christ's love and God's grace intertwined. Once you begin to read this book, you will not be able to put it down until you finish reading it. My prayer is that it becomes a bestseller.." ~ Shundra Yuille, author of
A Love for a Lifetime "
A Seal upon the Heart is a sweet story that portrays true love as God intended. The characters are human, yet they each seek to live like Jesus, and that is a beautiful thing within relationships." ~ Heidi K. Kaether, author of
Winterspast "Rhyse Furio's novel,
A Seal upon the Heart, is a challenging, soul-warming love story of Scottish Rugby player Tristan and artistic, beautiful, selfless Filipina Qeziah. Their relationship and marriage are based on Biblical values like mutual respect and honesty. It is so utterly refreshing and encouraging to read about their thoughtfulness, esteem and love for one another in a world that is ruled by self-centered, short-lived and broken relationships. This book brings joy and hope to the heart. May many read it. I cannot but recommend it." ~ Bärbel Griffioen, Bible teacher
"Highly recommended. An engaging and profound Christian romance--and so much more. This intriguing multicultural journey is also a solid take on the joys and difficulties of relationships and marriage: strong, passionate, and human. The characters are alive and alluring. You will want to know them and cherish them long after you've read this winning debut novel by this very competent and experienced writer. It was exciting to learn so much about the blended and diverse cultures woven together with Ms. Furio's skill. A must-read and an excellent source book for book clubs, church groups, or even marriage retreats." ~ Craig A. Brockman, author of Curve of the Earth: A Novel of Lazarus
