Publicly humiliated and banished from court by her father
for loving the wrong man, Lady Margaret Newcomb's penance
is to care for her tormented and mad cousin. Margaret
guards her charge protectively while she remains defiant in
face of the indignities her father and church impose upon
her. Margaret has nothing left to lose in her rebellion.
Her lover and baby are dead due to her father's
manipulations. Believing herself numb, she's stunned when
Sir Richard de Cantor returns home and stirs unwanted
feelings within her.
Joining the Templar Knights to appease God and seek
redemption for his role in his wife's illness, Sir Richard
de Cantor gave the Knights five years. His service abruptly
ends as the King of France declares the Templar Knights
heretics and has them arrested. Arriving home in England,
Richard hopes to sway the King of England to aid the
Templar Knights. On his homecoming, Richard finds his
estate in turmoil and a beautiful woman caring for his
wife.
Margaret and Richard endure the harsh realities of their
world, but they receive understanding and comfort with each
other. Their time together takes an unexpected turn when
the Inquisition arrives, leading to inevitable pain and
anguish.
This first book in Ms. McCall's new Templar Knight Series
is a riveting read. Filled with historical detail, BEYOND
TEMPTATION tells a touching love story in the turbulent and
violent time for these elite warriors. Its climatic ending
will keep readers at the edge of their seat and impatient
for the next story.
A proud yet haunted warrior, Sir Richard de Cantor left his
past behind when he joined the secret brotherhood of
Templar Knights. Now he is returning home to face a
challenge greater than any he has ever known: a forbidden
promise of ecstasy that dwells in the gentle heart of a
fallen noblewoman.
Beyond desire...
Lady Margaret Newcomb has paid dearly for her sins of long
ago, her good name stripped away as she was forced into
seclusion. Yet such torment is nothing compared to what she
suffers when Richard de Cantor enters her world of penance.
Here is a man, brave and strong yet tender, whose
breathtaking masculinity tempts her to sin once more. To
want him is dangerous and taboo. But to deny her passion is
to deny life itself and the one chance for a love beyond
limits, beyond rapture ...
