Blush: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content)
The Roselynde Chronicles, Book One.
Alinor
Devaux, is beautiful and very rich. She is also an orphan, but her
grandparents had not left her defenseless. She has been trained to
manage her estates and to rule her vassals. But then the old king dies
and Alinor becomes the ward of Richard Coeur de Lion. Alinor knows that
her safety and the well-being of her precious lands rests on her ability
to make her warden, Sir Simon Lemagne, her willing slave.
Sir
Simon has known many women, but never one like Alinor. He is an easy
victim. But Alinor tumbles into love. Soon Sir Simon is the only man she
will take as a husband. But Simon is no suitable match—he is poor and
has no political power. The king would make no profit by permitting
Simon to marry Alinor. In their struggle to be united despite the
obstacles in their path, Lady Alinor and Sir Simon are swept from the Royal Court in England into King Richard’s Crusade, through the king’s conquest of Cyprus and into the Holy Land.
They endure bloody battles and heartrending separations before Simon
convinces King Richard to allow their love fruition in marriage.
