It was the end of her world...and the beginning of her
greatest adventure.
After her grandfather's death, Lady Alinor Devaux was
alone — proud, beautiful, impossibly wealthy...and
vulnerable. In order to protect the young heiress, the
queen of England charged a warden to protect Alinor. Sir
Simon Lemagne was a fiercely intelligent, loyal and
seasoned knight, determined to do his duty. But he found
himself stirred by this dark-haired young woman with
lively eyes....
An honorable man, Simon tries to stifle his passion for
the lovely Alinor. Except, of course, that Alinor's never
allowed the object — or person — of her desire to slip
through her fingers...until Simon is called upon by King
Richard to join the Crusades. Now Alinor must fight for
what she wants — even if it means marching to the Holy
Land herself!
