This medieval historical romance from a #1 New York Times bestseller is a “rip-roaring romp, full of humor, romance, sword fights, and crisp dialogue” (The Cedar Rapids Gazette).

In the dark days after the death of Richard the Lionheart, lives and lands fell into upheaval at the hands of the power-hungry King John and his violent minions. One victim was innocent Gillian, who was just a child when the cruel and ambitious Baron Alford, determined to recover for the despotic king a jeweled box that slipped through his fingers, slaughtered her father and tore her family apart.

A decade later, Gillian once again crosses paths with the nefarious baron, but instead of losing everything like she had as a child, she finds the key to resolving her past. But first the English beauty must enlist handsome Scottish chieftain Brodick Buchanan to help her in her quest. But accepting the rugged Scotman’s protection is complicated by the passion simmering between them.
