Aldwin Treynarde, a squire who shot Lord Geoffrey de Lanceau with a crossbow bolt after being deceived by Baron Sedgewick, is ordered to retrieve a stolen ruby pendant before it falls into the Baron and Veronique’s hands. Haunted by his guilt over being manipulated by the baron years ago, Aldwin wants to prove his worth to his lord. If he excels in his duty, he might even be awarded knighthood. Such an honor would also help redeem himself to his respected parents who, ashamed by his reckless near-murder of de Lanceau, told him never to return home. Lady Leona Ransley, in an effort to help her depressed father, only wants to hand over the pendant, collect the reward, and vanish. When she arranges a meeting in a seedy tavern, she never expected to face Aldwin, who almost caused her death twelve years ago when they disturbed a bee’s nest during a childhood game. Although Aldwin does not recognize her, he is reminded of Leona and is haunted by his belief that she died from the bee stings from that day twelve years prior. Believing that the woman before him is a courtesan and has information on the conspirators’ whereabouts, he takes Leona hostage and spirits her away, meaning to deliver her and the pendant to de Lanceau. She, however, fights
him at every chance. He desires his warrior captive more than
any noble woman he has ever met, and when he discovers who she
really is, he knows he has one last chance to protect his lady’s
life. Only by resolving what happened between them and by fighting
side by side can Aldwin and Leona defeat the conspirators and
surrender to their greatest temptation—love. |

always when it comes to sensually stimulating romances combined
with adventuresome medieval plotting, Ms. Catherine Kean is
carving out her own special niche. In A Knight’s

multi-faceted characters in Lady Leona and Aldwin. Highly Recommended!” “Kean’s
