Romance Historical
The Frenchman de la Roche is killing the Knights Templar
and looking for the Spear of Destiny. Sir William Keith and
the other Knights Templar must find it first or risk
everything they have fought for. Sir John Fraser is the only person left who knows where the
treasure is hidden. De la Roche beats William to Fraser and
kidnaps him. Siobhan Fraser knows the location of the
scroll that has encrypted directions to the treasure. She
runs into William while fleeing the castle and he saves her
when de la Roche's men return for her. They rescue the
scroll and take it back to the monastery. It becomes a race to interpret the scroll and beat the
Frenchman to the spear. Rescuing Sir John must wait, as
well as must the developing relationship between Siobhan
and William. William has taken vows. Will his love for Siobhan outweigh
his promise to the church? The journey across Scotland
forges strong bonds between them, but are those bonds
strong enough? Vows to the church or a future with the
woman he loves? Her father's life or William's promise to
secure the sword? What choice will William make and can
Siobhan live with it? This is Russell's first book in her new series on the
Templar Knights. She has taken some known facts from
history and woven them into a story that follows the tale
of the legendary spear that, at one time, was rumored to be
in the possession of Adolf Hitler. It has all the elements:
a powerful and handsome hero, a vulnerable but determined
heroine and a long journey that forces them together
intimately. Romance and treasure make a combination that's
hard to beat and Russell fans will not be disappointed.
SUMMARY
Sir William Keith owed allegiance to no one save the
mysterious brotherhood of the Scottish Templars. But his
task to protect the legendary Templar treasure brought him
straight into the path of a bold lass who demanded he help
find her kidnapped father, the treasure’s previous
guardian. William dared not abandon Lady Siobhan Fraser to her
enemies. She was his best hope for finding the holy
artifacts—and a dire temptation to his vow of chastity.
How long could he deny the ecstasy that awaited him in her
arms? For he knew all too well it’s the forbidden fruit
that tastes the sweetest…
