[Rogues & Angels 02] • One Knight's Return

Knight and crusader Quinn de Sayerne vowed never to return home while his villainous father drew breath. Twenty years after his departure, he is notified of his father's death and summoned by his liege lord to claim his family holding. But his overlord has a stipulation: Quinn must wed Melissande, the beauteous heiress of neighboring Annossy. Quinn hoped to make a match based on more than mutual animosity, but he is resolved to win the heart of his lady wife, at any cost.

Melissande cannot believe that her liege lord has not only compelled her to break an old betrothal but wed her to a ruffian—and granted the seal of Annossy to him, despite her expertise. It is the dream of Quinn's father brought to fruition, for the holdings will be merged just as he long schemed. But her overlord cannot be defied, and she finds herself the chattel of this rough knight, despite her every protest.

Can Quinn win his lady's reluctant heart? Or is he doomed to lose Melissande forever when her betrothed returns?
