When Fox Mercer's father was accused of treason against the Crown, Lady Jordan Ruvane was ordered to have nothing more to do with him. Years later, her childhood love is still in her thoughts, but her dreams of reuniting with Fox have now been dashed forever. For she is soon to be wed to another—given as prize to the winner of her father's tournament. The mysterious black knight who'd won the tournament and its coveted prize was not driven by desire for the faithless Lady Jordan—but for revenge! Unjustly stripped of his land and his title, Fox Mercer cared only for restoring his family honor, and Jordan held the key. He certainly didn't expect to find an ally in his cause—or passion beyond all imagining. But can Fox conquer the secrets of the past and truly become the champion of his lady's heart?
