Enchantress — Amy Ruttan

The war may be over, but the battle has just begun… Enchantress, Book 1 Lord Edwin fought bravely for his king. His reward, now the wars are over, is to be dragged from battlefield to betrothal. Marriage to his former enemy is not his choice, but he is bound by duty. On his way north, he encounters a mysterious maiden who ensnares his mind -- and his passion. Then in the blink of an eye she vanishes into the forest. Aislinn knows the husband she wishes for -- someone like the handsome, virile man she met in the woods -- is no more than a fantasy. Her discovery that this very man is to be hers brings no comfort, for a Saxon could never love her for what she is. Fey. If he and his superstitious people learn her secret, she could be put to death. Yet death may come even if she manages to hide her true self from the gentle warrior. The perpetrator behind a series of attacks wants more than to destroy the precarious peace. They want her powers. To save her people she must reveal herself and risk his love. Or leave him to face the challenge. Alone. Warnings: Explicit sex, sword fights, an arranged marriage, a pagan or two and a medieval yuletide feast to boot.
