Lady Isobel's Champion — Carol Townend

His Lady in Waiting

In her long years at the convent, waiting for her betrothed, Lady Isobel de Turenne has built the Comte d'Aveyron into a fantasy -- a man who will rescue, protect and love her.…

But when the comte finally returns to claim his bride, Isobel finds instead a man of contradictions -- one who masks dark secrets with desire.

Wary of a man's touch but desperate to grasp her new freedom, Isobel must decide if it's solely duty forcing the comte to marry or whether he is truly her longed-for champion.
