Outfoxed! And by what? A waif of a girl! Jamie was
furious that he, one of King John's smartest and strongest
knights, had been outmaneuvered by the slight dark-haired
beauty. Vowing to kill her when he caught up to her, his
steel-trap mind wondered why she was chasing the same
quarry as he had been sent to capture.
Riding with Rys, his ever present and long time friend, he
quickly overturns the tables on Eva and ropes her to him so
she could not escape. With ten years on the run with young
Roger, Eva was talented in many ways and ever vigilant for
an opportunity to slip away again from this strong man and
the growing attraction she begins to feel for him.
With civil war erupting around them and the threat of a new
and powerful enemy tracking them down, Eva is
rethinking her plan. Entering into an uneasy entente with
the tall and dark-haired Jamie Lost, they focus their
energies on moving through rebel held lands to seek the
captured Father Peter. Could they find him in time to save
the country? As they each shift through wisps of stray
talk and plotting tales of ambitions both old and new, Eva
and Jamie begin to unravel the closely guarded secrets of
the other. Now, forced into making a choice, where will
their allegiance lie?
Renowned for her talented writing and careful research,
Kris Kennedy sets this amazing story in 1215 and quickly
brings alive in vivid detail the tensions of this pre-
Magna Carta time of civil war and shifting allegiances.
Kennedy has written a passionate and enthralling romance
between Jamie, a strong-willed knight on a mission, and
Eva, a woman of mystery who is steadfast in her persistent
and protective care for those she loves. This is a
delicious and satisfying heartfelt read that I just could
not put down. A magnificent medieval romance not to be
missed!
England, 1215, the eve of Magna Carta
Jamie Lost is the king's most renowned commander, an
audacious knight ordered to kidnap an exiled priest before
rebel forces close in. The mission is simple--until he comes
up against a mysterious woman on a mission, a thief who will
first steal his quarry and then his heart.
Eva is also seeking Father Peter, but she intends to protect
him from a secret that endangers his life, even if it costs
her own. She is well aware danger lies everywhere,
especially in the knight showing too much interest in her
activities. But deep inside, Eva knows the danger lies not
in Jamie, but inside her, in the desire he awakens in her
body and heart.
When a mysterious band of armed mercenaries upends both
their plans and abducts the priest, Jamie and Eva form an
uneasy alliance. As civil war unfolds around them, they
embark on an epic journey that betrays the truth about their
identities, their unexpected loyalties, and the dangerous
attraction that could seal their fates forever.
