The Maiden Bride

the long version

A KING'S QUEST Sir Adrian Vale had earned his spurs at the battle of Crecy, as well as King Edward III's gratitude. But things had changed since that great victory. Branded a traitor, the knight was given a task he alone could achieve. Infiltrating Oldwall castle was child's play, but plumbing its secrets required his most expert touch. THE LADY PRIZE While Philippa's duty required that she wed Lord Oldcastle and bear his children, nothing could prepare her for Drogo's monstrous plan - or the fascinating stranger who would carry it through. Adrian's soft caresses electrified Philippa's virgin flesh, while the answers he sought filled her with dread. Who was this handsome warrior who's eyes held such fiery longing? This man had come for not only the lord of the keep but the castle's maiden bride.
