Word of Honor (Knights of Valor Book 1) (26 page)

Lady
Beatrice Bordel blames herself for the riding accident that cost her father his
life when she was a child. Tragedy strikes again when her mother and
grandfather die on the same day, leaving her homeless. The young woman decides
to travel to visit her grandfather’s closest friend, hoping she can use her
domestic skills and lute-playing talent to find a permanent place in his
household. Barely into her journey, a band of highwaymen accosts Beatrice and
her sole servant. All seems lost—until Raynor Le Roux arrives.

As a
knight of the realm, the code of chivalry guides Raynor’s life. While returning
to his family’s home after many months away, he rescues Beatrice—who tells a
white lie to this handsome stranger. Raynor takes her to safety at Ashcroft,
but his home has changed during his time away. No longer a thriving estate, Ashcroft
has fallen into disrepair because his brother Peter is no longer interested in
its welfare after his wife’s untimely death. Raynor determines to restore his
home before he escorts Beatrice north so she may unite with the man he believes
is her betrothed.

The
couple’s growing attraction turns to love, but Beatrice’s dishonesty stands
between her and Raynor’s happiness. Will she finally tell him the truth—and
hope he forgives her deception—or will it be too late?

After the
earl of Sandbourne banishes his wife to a convent, his young son Michael swears
never to set foot on the family’s estate until after his father’s death. He
will then claim his title as the new earl, locate his mother, and bring her
home.

Fifteen
years pass, and the now-knighted Sir Michael Devereux serves Lord Geoffrey de
Montfort at Kinwick Castle. He accompanies the nobleman and his family to a
wedding where Michael unknowingly falls in love with the bride before he even
knows her identity.

Lady
Elysande Le Cler is angry that her usually indulgent father went against her
wishes and betrothed her to a stranger prior to his death. Now as her wedding
day approaches, dread fills her—until she meets a dashing stranger who helps
her deliver a foal. She loses her heart to the knight, frustrated that they can
never be together.

But fate
has other plans in store for Elysande and Michael . . .
