Bound by a
brotherhood forged in the hell of a Saracen prison, eight
Blood Swords -- mercenary knights for William
the Conqueror -- set out to claim their legacies the only
way they can: by right of arms, by right of victory, by
right of conquest.
For
Sir Rohan du Luc, known as the Black Sword, enemies fall
easily beneath
his assault...until he comes face-to-face with a foe more
worthy than
any battle-hardened knight. Bold and courageous though she
is, Saxon
maiden Isabel of Alethorpe cannot stop Rohan de Luc from seizing
Alethorpe and its people in the name of William the
Conqueror. Then
Rohan demands not just the manor, but Isabel herself. She
vows that her
heart will remain her own, even if she is forced to allow
him to lay
claim to her body. But while the lady's lips say no, Isabel's
traitorous body is awakened to desire by the seductive
attentions of
this potent invader. Can she remain true to her Saxon
heritage and her
hopes that her brother may have survived the battlefield, or
will Sir
Rohan's skilled touch capture her unwilling heart as surely
as his
prowess with his sword captured her father's lands?
