He'd defend her keep…

After proving himself on the field of battle, Ramon de Segrave is appointed to
the Council of Barons by Richard the Lionheart. But instead of taking his most formidable warrior on his latest Crusade, the king assigns Ramon an even more dangerous task—woo and win the Lady of Thistle Keep.

If only she'd yield her heart

Isabel of Camoys has fought long and hard for her independence, and if the price is loneliness, then so be it. She will not yield…even if she does find the powerful knight's heated embrace impossible to ignore. But when her land is threatened, Isabel reluctantly agrees to allow Ramon to defend the keep—knowing that the price may very well be her heart.

Praise for Mary Wine:

“I always find the emotional and philosophical tugs of war interesting between Wine's characters. Her main characters are always admirable and there are always some true baddies to root against.” —

Isabel Cooper lives in Boston in an apartment with two houseplants, an inordinate number of stairs, a silver sword, and a basket of sequined fruit. By day, she works as a theoretically mild-mannered legal editor; by night, she tries to sleep. She has a house in the country, but hopes she doesn't encounter mysterious and handsome strangers nearby, as vacation generally involves a lot of fuzzy bathrobes. You can find out more at
