Swordsworn Knights

The knight Alric of Hawksmere has endured years of war and survived dozens of battles in the service of the king. A new challenge awaits him when he returns home to renew his bond with a childhood friend. Alric, instead, discovers she is now a spirited woman of rare beauty whose kiss makes his blood burn. But the lady Cecily de Vere has been offered in marriage to another man, and Alric's duty is to escort her to the wedding.

After her father falls gravely ill, Lady Domina hides the truth of his condition and continues to rule in his name. Then one of the king's knights arrives on royal business, and she must find a way to deceive the arrogant, handsome intruder. Sir Luc of Braecon is fiercely loyal to the king. His battle scars prove it. When he is ordered to investigate reports of an insurrection, he swears to find the traitor. The first clues lead him directly to the Lady Domina. As the relentless knight exposes one secret after another, he finds that nothing about the tantalizing lady is what it seems.

Lady Angelet has spent her whole life as a pawn, acquiescing to the wishes of others. She's been a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, and a good widow. The reward for her obedience is nothing more than a one-way journey to a nunnery. Outmaneuvered by her shrewd father-in-law, Angelet is forced to accept her fate. The knight who is hired to escort her has other plans. Now known as the undefeated Knight of the Raven, the low-born but charming Sir Rafe has had to fight for everything he's ever had. When he sees Angelet, he's more than willing to fight for her, too.

Robin was born poor in a rough, remote part of England. She survived only by disguising herself as a boy and learning to hunt on her own. Robin's heart is wild, and when she learns that a valiant knight - one she's always admired - needs her help, she finds her cause. There is no other knight in England quite like Octavian de Levant. Born in Africa, raised in the Holy Land, and trained by a military order, he's a skilled fighter and a constant wanderer. Now, he's sworn to aid the king in the war for the throne.
