Historical Romance

Lady Gillian D'Averette is certain there is no man worth loving. She sees no reason why honoring her vow to never love or marry should be hard. That is until Sir Bayard de Boisbaston arrived at her castle with news from her sister and to protect her from possible danger. Now Lady Gillian finds herself battling feelings she doesn't want, worrying about trouble that may or may not be heading for Averette.

Sir Bayard is determined to protect the strong willed Lady Gillian; however he didn't expect the woman he found to inspire other emotions he's never had. Now they must find a way to work together while, trying to uncover any hints of danger or conspiracy. As events lead Bayard and Gillian to spending more time together, their attraction grows, but so does the danger.

Will a notorious knight and a woman determined to never let a man control her, find a way to work together? Will the danger that lurks just outside the castle walls destroy all peace and any joy that the future might hold?

THE NOTORIOUS KNIGHT is the sequel to MY LORD'S DESIRE but can be read as a stand alone book. Readers will be eager to read the previous book however once they've met these wonderful characters. I feel giving much more detail to the story will detract from the pleasure found in unveiling the books' secrets for yourself. Fans of historicals, especially medieval settings, will be unable to put Ms. Moore's story down. The story is fresh, fun, fast-paced, engaging, and passionate, with an added touch of adventure. I am eager to see what is next from Ms. Moore as well as these characters. With THE NOTORIOUS KNIGHT, Ms. Moore is sure to find a spot on reader's keeper shelf with space open for her next story. I highly recommend this book to all fans of historical romances.
