Captive Heart — Sarah McKerrigan

She can fight like a man.
Now she'll learn to love like a woman.

A warrior born and raised, Helena of Rivenloch is desperate to save her youngest sister from a fate worse than death: marriage. After trying-and failing-to murder the groom, she does the next best thing. She takes his right-hand knight, the dashing Colin du Lac, as her hostage. And discovers that her new "captive" is chivalrous to the core, highly amused by her behavior, and far more dangerous than any warrior she has ever fought.

Du Lac is soon trading quips instead of sword thrusts, exchanging glances that turn to kisses, and laying siege to Helena's innocent heart. But du Lac has no use for a warrior wife and Helena will not wed-even though she surrenders to her passion every night in his arms...
