“Bite me again, my lady, and I will show you how to do it properly.”
Theirs was not the friendliest of first meetings. Sent to rescue Lady Freya from the king’s men, Sir Rory Waryn is unprepared for the baron’s daughter to fight him. To treat him as if he is the enemy. To be uncharacteristically immune to his charms. But rescuing her is his mission, and by God’s teeth, he never fails a mission.
Until now.
The carefully laid plans of the Brotherhood—rescue Lady Freya, return her to her men, and avoid the wrath of a vengeful king—unravel rapidly.
She fights Rory at every turn.
She refuses to retreat to Bristol Manor.
She asks for aid he cannot give.
The Waryns are already in King Edward’s crosshairs. Another wrong move and Rory’s father could end up as Freya’s did, with a noose around his neck courtesy of the very king of England himself.
Why, then, is Rory entertaining the lady’s demands instead of following the Brotherhood’s plan? The answer, he fears, is something he’s spent a lifetime avoiding.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lady Freya sent her father's men to gather aid from their allies while she plotted some way to halt her treacherous brother and the King's men from killing more of her people.
Our heroine is courageous but a woman can only do so much.
Sir Rory Waryn is part of the Brotherhood of the Border and volunteers to rescue the Lady from her predicament.
Our hero has a way with the ladies, and doesn't expect any trouble getting this one to do as he says.
All the characters are easy to love and have distinctive personalities. The action is a little steamy, our hero is a rogue after all.
This amusing and action packed historical romance is the latest in a wonderful series. We have met many of the characters in previous books, but you can still read each on it's own.
Great fun, I loved it.

Her first series, set along the Anglo-Scottish border in 13th century Northumbria, turned Cecelia from educator to full-time author. Readers love the Border Series for its focus on well-developed characters and their steamy relationships leading to satisfying happily ever afters. Cecelia lives in Northeast, Pennsylvania with her husband and two young children where she can be found either planning a Disney trip, watching period dramas or convincing her children to watch Star Wars. She is firmly House Stark and Gryffindor.
