A Knight's Temptation Read online

  “Braden, I love you so. I never expected to feel so much.”

  “Then we make the perfect pair.” He eased a strand of her hair behind her ear. “I love you more than I can possibly say.”

  “I can’t wait to tell Prioress Matilda that we won’t be annulling our marriage after all.” Her smile lit his heart.

  A knock sounded at the door, but Braden was loathe to answer. Not with Ilisa in his arms at last.

  “Braden?” Chanse’s voice called out, the urgency in his tone evident. “Surely you’re awake by now.”

  “Why is he in such a hurry?” Braden asked Ilisa between kisses.

  She heaved a sigh. “He has an idea on how to deal Lord Graham another blow.”

  Braden scowled. “I’m not going to like it. Am I?”

  Ilisa only smiled as she kissed him once again.

  AUTHOR’S NOTE

  Thank you for reading A Knight’s Temptation, the second full-length book in the Falling For A Knight series, which follows the next generation of the de Bremonts. If you haven’t yet read Rylan’s story, I invite you to read A Knight’s Christmas Wish, the novella that begins the Falling For A Knight series. If you’re interested in reading Braden’s parents’ story, check out Believe In Me.

  The sack of Berwick, Scotland, in 1296 was a dark point in the country’s history and was the first battle in the First War of Scottish Independence. King Edward I, angered by Scotland’s alliance with France, marched on the city with 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, according to some accounts. The death toll ranges from 7,500 to 13,000, and included men, women, and children. If the king of England’s goal truly was to make the mills “flow with their blood,” he succeeded. And so began a bloody era for Scotland’s independence.

  While most of the characters in A Knight’s Quest are fictional, the backdrop of the events are true. Sir William Douglas was governor up until the siege and was held in England afterward for several years. Sir Gilbert de Umfraville was his sworn enemy. The Guardians of Scotland truly did exist, and in my fictional world, a competing group formed called The Sentinels.

  After reading of this terrible attack, I couldn’t help but wonder what might happen to those who survived, especially the Douglas family, including Ilisa and Sophia. I hope you enjoy the story and that it catches your imagination, as it did mine.

  Thank you to my wonderfully talented critique partners: Michelle, Lani, and Robin, and to my beta readers, Linda and Tracy. I couldn’t do this without you!
