Dark Warrior Julie Shelton

When Nicholas Herron the Duke of Berwick and his best friend, Rolf Torgesson, two of King Edward III's most powerful and respected knights, discover a badly beaten young woman hiding in the forest, they swear to protect her.

By the time they learn that she is Lady Kathryn Weston, and that her attacker is none other than her betrothed, Robert Walford, the powerful and ruthless Duke of Pemberton, it is too late. They have both fallen in love with her and she with them--a love so forbidden it could cost them everything, even their lives.

Set amidst the turmoil and pageantry of 14th-century England, Dark Warrior weaves a vivid tapestry of three lost souls bound to each other with a deep, abiding love. But will that love survive Walford's evil plan to attack Berwick Castle, take it apart stone by stone, and ultimately destroy everyone who lives there?
