About the book
A Knight's Passion ~ Candice Kohl
Enter a time of chivalry and majesty--when three brothers bound together by blood and honor seek their fate in the might of a sword, only to find their true destiny in the heart of a lady...
SHE TAUNTED HIM...AND TEMPTED HIM
When Lord Raven of Stonelee learned that King Henry had decreed he and his twin must marry Welsh heiresses to secure the borderlands, he could not refuse. At least his betrothed was an obedient lass. Now it fell to Raven to fetch the defiant Roxanne of Bittenshire, his brother Peter's runaway bride, and bring her back to the altar, no matter how loudly she protested. Yet somehow, when he saw the passion flashing in her violet eyes and felt his own simmering desires, he realized that his brother's intended was all the woman he'd ever wanted.
