No Peril Could Part Them…
Lovely Joan of Hawkingham knew little of love. Haunted by the mysterious death of her older sister and sheltered by court life, she had grown into an emerald-eyed innocent … until Richard of Kindsclere boldly kissed her, filling her with a storm of both simmering desire and dread. For Richard was the same tall, dark lover whose ardor had doomed her sister, Alicia and the handsome knight whose lips now claimed Joan as his own.
Even has King Edward betrothed her to another, she was tormented by Richard's taunting wit and the seductive spell of his eyes. Then on a far pilgrimage, he chivalrously protected her from danger and, and on s star-strewn night, laid her beside him. Here, in his arms, Joan would drink the sweet wine of his passion … and discover a love so true it would defy the dark past, the king's word, and the murderous plots of their enemies to fulfill its blazing fate.
