A medieval soldier returns home to find his lover died in childbirth just as his own mother had. Believing he is cursed, Peter of Normandy turns from love. When he must give escort to an Irish princess more noble than many knights, he struggles with his decision to live a solitary life. Can he take the chance that his love won’t be a death sentence and possibly make them stronger?
Padraig MacNaughton’s death-bed decree rips his daughter, Brighit, from the shelter of her protective clan in Ireland. Forced to take vows at a Priory in England, she finds herself in the hands of lecherous mercenaries with their own agendas. Dare she trust the Norman knight to see her safely to her new life as a nun? Even when she finds in him the fulfillment of all she’s ever wanted?
Or will honor and duty eclipse their one chance for happiness?

“Great love story – fabulously sexy love scenes! I really enjoyed Ashley York’s The Saxon Bride and The Bruised Thistle and was so looking forward to this one. It did not disappoint! I loved every minute of it and didn’t want it to end!”
“Superbly written with well-developed characters I could not put this book down. A wonderful hero, lovely heroine, and wretchedly awful villains kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end. Looking forward to what this very talented author has in store next for her readers!”
JENERATED REVIEWS
“The writing grabs you from the first & keeps hold of you, full of twists, turns & surprises you’re going to read this in one sitting. I also advise keeping tissue nearby. Wonderful characters both the hero & heroine, but the secondary characters are just as well developed. A great Medieval romp. You won’t be disappointed.”
