Thrill of the Knight

A lady''s deception

Lady Elizabeth Hutton will never succumb to the ambitions of a neighboring lord—even after his soldiers imprison the newly orphaned heiress in her own bedchamber. Ever resourceful, the proud beauty has devised a strategy to escape the devil who''s determined to possess her and her great wealth: she will switch roles with her loyal maid so that she can save herself and her people.

A knight''s rapture

Sir John Russell''s love of adventure has always carried him to far-flung places and dangers—and now he must ride to the rescue of the noblewoman he''s betrothed to but hasn''t seen since boyhood. However, it is not his bride-to-be but her bewitching servant who enflames his passion—and Sir John''s desire for the fiery beauty threatens to undermine his sacred, sworn oath, forcing a noble knight into the most devastating choice of his life: between duty and honor . . . or ecstasy and disgrace.
