The Black Earl — Sharon Stephens

More powerful than the clash of steel on steel is the meeting of two hearts

WHILE KNIGHT FOUGHT KNIGHT FOR LAND, HONOR AND GLORY, ONE WOMAN FOUGHT ONLY FOR LOVE.

"I am Lady Elizabeth of Beaufort. My uncle is Sir Godftey."

With these words, delivered to Richard of Norwen, the Black Earl, this beauty knew well what she risked...

Her uncle's wrath, should he learn of her betrayal... and her brother's life.

But the valiant Richard held a certainty of his own--that the Beauforts were the cause of his greatest sorrow He could not foresee that when all the treacheries were done, the gentle Beaufort who stood before him would be the cause of his greatest joy.

Hero: Richard of Norwen, the Black Earl
Heroine: Lady Elizabeth Beaufort
