Publisher's Synopsis
Gavin has returned from the Crusades to the only home he's ever known, Sheffield Manor. He's not a penniless gypsy anymore but a warrior, knighted on the battlefield. Gavin knows that he needs to settle down and have sons. Only one thing stands in the way of his happiness... the fact that he's not alone upon his return. Malik Shahosseni is a brave knight as well as his dark Persian lover. Is it possible to keep Malik a secret and still protect his Lady as deadly plans are plotted in darkness? Raised by nuns and taught to revere purity and wholesomeness, Bree has been sheltered from the crude ways of men. Suddenly a brave and handsome knight that she knew as a child, returns proclaiming his fealty to her and her young brother, Thomas. Though far beneath Bree in rank, Gavin's kindness endears him to her immediately. When Bree feels drawn to the man that accompanies Gavin, Bree finds herself torn from every belief she's ever had about life, love and longing.
