Romance Historical

The Frenchman de la Roche is killing the Knights Templar and looking for the Spear of Destiny. Sir William Keith and the other Knights Templar must find it first or risk everything they have fought for. Sir John Fraser is the only person left who knows where the treasure is hidden. De la Roche beats William to Fraser and kidnaps him. Siobhan Fraser knows the location of the scroll that has encrypted directions to the treasure. She runs into William while fleeing the castle and he saves her when de la Roche's men return for her. They rescue the scroll and take it back to the monastery. It becomes a race to interpret the scroll and beat the Frenchman to the spear. Rescuing Sir John must wait, as well as must the developing relationship between Siobhan and William. William has taken vows. Will his love for Siobhan outweigh his promise to the church? The journey across Scotland forges strong bonds between them, but are those bonds strong enough? Vows to the church or a future with the woman he loves? Her father's life or William's promise to secure the sword? What choice will William make and can Siobhan live with it? This is Russell's first book in her new series on the Templar Knights. She has taken some known facts from history and woven them into a story that follows the tale of the legendary spear that, at one time, was rumored to be in the possession of Adolf Hitler. It has all the elements: a powerful and handsome hero, a vulnerable but determined heroine and a long journey that forces them together intimately. Romance and treasure make a combination that's hard to beat and Russell fans will not be disappointed.

SUMMARY

Sir William Keith owed allegiance to no one save the mysterious brotherhood of the Scottish Templars. But his task to protect the legendary Templar treasure brought him straight into the path of a bold lass who demanded he help find her kidnapped father, the treasure’s previous guardian. William dared not abandon Lady Siobhan Fraser to her enemies. She was his best hope for finding the holy artifacts—and a dire temptation to his vow of chastity. How long could he deny the ecstasy that awaited him in her arms? For he knew all too well it’s the forbidden fruit that tastes the sweetest…
