Excerpt from The Lady of the Forest:

Jamie’s soft snuffles had at last evened into sleep when the idea came. Create a distraction, something that would divert attention long enough to manage a rescue. What kind of distraction would throw the castle into an uproar that would allow time to release both men?

Kate slipped outside to pace. In the thin light of a quarter moon, she paused, leaned against a tree. What if her plan didn’t work? Suddenly she felt tired—and terrified. She pushed away from the rough trunk, impatient with her self-doubt. The perfect diversion danced at the edge of her mind; she simply had to retrieve it.

Blurb:

He must pursue his enemy; she must protect her people. Can their love survive the duties that drive them apart?

When her elderly husband dies, Lady Katherine fakes her own death and disappears into the forest with others escaping the brutish new lord. Determined to protect her people, she knocks the wrong man senseless. But Lord Henry isn’t an enemy, he’s the brother of her childhood friend. Although his tender confidence tempts her, she’s bound by duty.

Henry of Chauvere has found the one lady he wants for his own, never mind she’s tied him hand and foot. When he learns the king has ordered her to wed Stonehill’s ruthless new master, he insists Kate seek haven with his sister. But she won’t desert her friends. Henry vows to solve her problem, provided he catches a traitor before the threat from Kate's past catches her.

When a daring rescue compels Henry and Kate to join forces, their attraction grows into love. If only duty didn’t drive them apart.
