Description
Magnificent in battle, Aymer de Valence, Earl of Godric, was a knight without equal until the cruel defeat of the English army at Bannockburn left him broken in body and spirit. Only one woman dared to come to his aid -- headstrong, independent Phillippa le Hope. Forced by the ravages of war to seek refuge in the forest, the flame-haired armorer found herself irresistibly drawn to the wounded soldier -- then bound to him by a desire that defied all reason... Together, they fought for justice and their very survival...the embattled nobleman sworn to reclaim his stolen birthright and the beautiful commoner who'd risk her life to save his. In a world of brutality and bloodshed, treachery and searing betrayal, Aymer and his beloved would gamble everything on a heart-stirring passion -- and a love destined to triumph against all odds!
