Goldhawk — Patricia Werner

FROM THE GREEN BOWERS OF ENGLAND
She had lost the man she loved to the Knights Templar, then just managed to escape a hateful marriage to an aging English Lord. Now, traveling with her father on a perilous pilgrimage to Byzantium and the Holy Land, the young Norman beauty Lindsey Ware had been seized by Guy de Jansens, the infamous--and seductive--bandit called Goldhawk.

...TO THE GOLDEN LANDS OF BYZANTIUM
She would be ransomed, but not before a spark was struck that blazed a trail of intrigue and desire from the opulent palaces of Constantinople to the citadels of a mysterious secret sect called the Assassins. On a dangerous journey that would reunite her with de Jansens, Lindsey would discover the courage to match the bravest Crusader, the wit to beguile and deceive her most treacherous enemies ...and a passion to rival that of the legendary Scheherezade.
