博客來Grieving from the death of his wife, Lord Colin Campbell listens to the cries of his newborn son whilst penning a missive to the king. With no marriage prospects, Colin petitions his majesty for help in finding a stepmother. Never again will he fall in love-the death of a woman brings more pain than losing a whole contingent of men on the battlefield.
Feisty, quick tongued and smart, Margaret Robinson is delighted when her father receives a messenger from the king...until she discovers what news he brings. In a sennight, she will wed the notorious Black Knight-her life is about to end.
Tension builds during the wedding and deteriorates from there...until an accident draws them together. Just when their love begins to blossom, a dire request arrives from the Pope. Colin must join the Crusades at once.
Their fragile love is forced to withstand the seductions of hell-Margaret tempted by a scoundrel laird-Colin courted by Satan himself. Aye, the war for Christendom could very well ruin their dreams forever.
