The last surviving member in her family's royal bloodline,
Queen Adara needs to secure her throne from a treacherous
usurper. Leaving her small kingdom, Adara seeks Christian
of Acre, who was betrothed and married to her in their
childhood. In her dreams, Adara remembers the beautiful boy
and fantasizes about their reunion. She's remained true to
her vows and has rebuffed attempts by others to have her
marriage annulled. Finding Christian shatters her fantasy.
Instead of a proud prince, she discovers a wounded one.
Christian is a man who has no wish to honor their marriage
or return home with her to rule the kingdom.
Christian of Acre swore allegiance with the men who shared
his hell as captives in the Saracen prison. He withstood
horrific torture, which scarred him physically and
mentally, resulting in a man of iron will. The boy who
would be prince died a long time ago in the chambers of
that hell. Christian has no wish to be saddled with a wife,
for that could lead to vulnerability and that is
unacceptable.
Adara demands Christian return with her or at least give
her an heir. Their scorching passion inflames Christian.
Reluctantly, he accepts her demand and departs with Adara
to reclaim their kingdom. Their survival over their vicious
enemy eventually depends on fellow members of the
Brotherhood joining Christian
RETURN OF THE WARRIOR provides vast entertainment to
readers in a passionate and adventurous tale. A wounded
prince, a condemned thief and a runaway slave stir
anticipation for other stories in this compelling series.
Fiercely devoted to her people and her land, Queen Adara
refuses to let a power-mad usurper steal her crown. But the
only way to protect what is hers is to seek out the man she
married in childhood.
A proud, tormented warrior, Christian of Acre owes
allegiance only to the mysterious Brotherhood – and has no
wish to be king over anyone but himself. Now a bold and
beautiful stranger has appeared in his rooms, tempting him
with an irresistible seduction and demanding he accompany
her back to their kingdoms... or at the very least, provide
her with an heir to her throne. Though he cannot abandon
the brave, regal lady to her enemies, Christian dares not
give in to his traitorous body’s desires. Yet how can he
deny the passion that is rightfully his and the ecstasy
that awaits him in Adara’s kiss?
