Fiercely devoted to her people and her land, Queen Adara
refuses to let a power-mad usurper steal her crown. But the
only way to protect what is hers is to seek out the man she
married in childhood.
A proud, tormented warrior, Christian of Acre owes
allegiance only to the mysterious Brotherhood – and has no
wish to be king over anyone but himself. Now a bold and
beautiful stranger has appeared in his rooms, tempting him
with an irresistible seduction and demanding he accompany
her back to their kingdoms... or at the very least, provide
her with an heir to her throne. Though he cannot abandon
the brave, regal lady to her enemies, Christian dares not
give in to his traitorous body’s desires. Yet how can he
deny the passion that is rightfully his and the ecstasy
that awaits him in Adara’s kiss?
