Romance Historical
Memories Lady Evelynnβs childhood hero is homeβbitter, hard, tempting as sin. And haunted by secrets. A now-grown Evie offers friendship, but Sir Stephen's cruel rejection crushes her, and she resolves to forget him. Yet when an unexpected war throws them together, she finds love isnβt so easy to dismiss. If only the king hadnβt betrothed her to another. Can be cruel Sir Stephen lives a double life while he seeks the treacherous outlaws who murdered his friends. Driven by revenge, he thinks his heart is closed to love. His childhood shadow, Lady Evie, unexpectedly challenges that belief. He rebuffs her, but he canβt forget her, although he knows sheβs to wed the kingβs favorite. And deadly When his drive for vengeance leads to Evieβs kidnapping, Stephen must choose between retribution and the love heβs denied too long. Surely King John will see reason. Convict the murderers; convince the king. Simple. Until a startling revelation threatens everything.
