Tempted — Elaine Kane

The impetuous daughter of a French nobleman, Catherine de Tralle was only twelve when Hugh Vougnet rode across the drawbridge of her ancestral castle in Avignon. Despite her innocence, she loved the handsome warrior-knight with a woman's heart. But when he returned from the Crusades four years later, Catherine was not free. About to be forced into a loveless alliance with a German duke, she would risk everything for the passion she could find only in Hugh's embrace...

Dreaming of glory, he'd ridden off to war...conquering his savage Saracen enemies and returning to France a hero. Though honor-bound to wed another, Hugh had never forgotten the high-spirited, sparkling-eyed Catherine. Only in the warmth of her tender kisses would he find sweet salvation...even if their love cost him his very soul.
