Romance Historical

Always a responsible and trustworthy daughter, Gwendolyn de Leon manages the great hall at Camelen in the absence of her father and brother. When they do not return from battle, she fights to protect both her sisters and her home from Alberic of Chester, the conquering knight who's come to make Camelen his personal holding. Alberic also plans to claim Gwendolyn as his wife. Gwendolyn also protects a family secret far greater than land and more powerful than fighting men. Hidden carefully within the brickwork in her bedroom, a pendant and a scroll reveal instructions for summoning the Pendragon, King Arthur, back from Avalon to again rule England in her time of need. According to the legend, Gwendolyn also needs the family ring, which is now is firmly stuck on Alberic's finger. Her husband reluctantly listens to the legend and mocks her belief in the magic pendant. But the political situation in England is very uncertain, and he cannot deny the power of the ring. At first, Gwendolyn acts in the best interest of her sisters, then in the best interest of Camelen, but as her attraction to her husband and her curiosity for the marriage bed increase, she hopes to find a little MIDNIGHT MAGIC of her own. Anton's realistic medieval setting is populated with strong characters who resist their attraction rather than risk their emotions. She interweaves interesting details of the estate, the clothing and the class system with a magical legend of King Arthur as the basis for a sexy romance. The magical elements are subtle, and this very enjoyable romance should please both readers of historical and paranormal romance.

SUMMARY

One Man's Fortune From the moment the warrior arrives to claim her and her land, Gwendolyn de Leon's reaction is swift and fierce. She refuses to yield, not to the knight who slew her brother in battle. But Alberic of Chester is a powerfully sensual man, intent on taking what is now rightfully his by king's decree. One Woman's Destiny Gwendolyn has one hope for deliverance: invoking a powerful spell with an ancient ring. Yet the seal of the dragon is now on Alberic's finger. To wrest it away and avenge her family's honor, she must seduce him. But will her own heart surrender first? One Ring to Bind Them
