A medieval historical romance featuring a woman guarding a dangerous secret, the knight-to-be who once nearly cost her life, and an abduction that forces them to confront a passion twelve years in the making.
When Lady Leona Ransley sets eyes on the bold warrior who strides into the tavern, she knows him at once: Aldwin Treynarde, the earl’s son who almost caused her death twelve years ago—and the only man who has ever kissed her. Shaken, she means to master her emotions, hand over the stolen ruby pendant, claim the reward, and vanish.
But Aldwin senses the husky-voiced beauty is far more than she appears—perhaps even the key to finding his lord’s enemies, and to the knighthood he’s wanted his whole life. So he takes her hostage and spirits her away. Leona fights him at every turn, even as he desires her beyond any woman he’s known. And when he discovers who she truly is, he’s left one last chance to protect her—if the two of them can face what happened between them years ago and fight side by side to defeat the traitors closing in.
