Welcome to Book One in the exciting new series, Guard of Six! Historical Romance that can only be brought to you by the Queen of Medieval Romance!
Love Alpha males? Enemies to Lovers? Tortured heroes? Absolution has it all.
Sir Torran de Serreaux is the leader of Henry III's personal guard. Known as the Guard of Six, they are an elite group made up of knights from the finest and oldest families in England. They have a reputation for being powerful, fearless, and dedicated.
They are also mortal men with demons and Torran has more demons than most.
It has been three years since the fall of Simon de Montfort and, still, there are lingering de Montfort supporters in England that are being systematically rooted out and subdued. At a particularly nasty battle at Kennington Castle, Torran and the royal army manage to raze the castle and kill all but two members of the oppositionist's family - a lovely young woman and her excitable younger brother.
Torran is introduced to Lady Andia St. Albans.
The family of St. Albans were great supporters of de Montfort. Torran takes Andia and her brother to London as prisoners. Henry, as punishment to the St. Alban's family, orders the siblings thrown in the vault. Torran, who is fighting a great attraction to Andia, has other ideas.
Keeping them at his family's London townhome.
Torran keeps them as his personal prisoners because the truth is that there's something about Andia that intrigues him. She's reserved, but very intelligent, but he is coming to suspect that Andia is hiding something. He can't help but feel she's harboring secrets, much as he is, and has he tries to figure him out, she is trying to figure him out as well. But all of the suspicion in the world can't dampen the sparks that fly between them.
Passion that roars like a wildfire.
In the complex political world of England's politics, Torran and Andia are major players. When the truth of Andia's involvement in her family's support of Simon de Montfort is revealed, Torran must make a choice. Can he forgive a woman he's fallen in love with?
Or is he the one who must seek absolution?
