When passion is fierce, resistance is futile.

A Headstrong Lady

A Battle-Torn Knight

And A Lesson In Temptation

Twice wed and twice widowed, Lady Caterine Keith has no need for a champion.  She can fend off unwanted suitors on her her and guard her Scottish stronghold without the help of any man.  But her sister, knowing better, sends a make-believe husband – a knight with a battle-scarred face almost too frightening to behold.  Sir Marmaduke Strongbow has a secret ambition.  He wants not Caterine’s land, but her hand in marriage and her heart to own.  With tantalizing caresses, he will show her how a real champion lays siege… and how love is impossible to fight.
