Publisher Description
He's a black-hearted knight on a mission for the king. She's the only thing standing in his way.
Jamie Lost is King John's most renowned commander, sent to kidnap a enemy troublemaker before rebel forces close in.
It's a simple mission—until he comes up against a beautiful waif who first threatens his mission, then his cold, black heart.
Eva is determined to find the 'troublemaker' too, and protect the dangerous secrets he holds, even if it costs her life. Danger lies everywhere, especially in the blue-eyed knight showing far too much interest in her activities.
Jamie has no intention of letting her succeed.
Eva has no intention of letting him stop her.
Soon they're locked in a mortal game of one-upmanship, with the fate of England on the line. But when a band of mercenaries abducts their quarry, Jamie & Eva must form a volatile alliance.
Suspicious, angry, and aroused, they embark on an epic journey across England that will betray dangerous truths about who they are and what they want...and unleash a searing passion that will seal their fates—and the fate of England—forever.

Customer Reviews
Awesome!!!
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This was such a great story, I loved Jaimie he's such a brooding broken man, I mean it's not everyday that you see your father murdered in front of you! He was an empty shell until he met Eva . Eva is the nurse ( with a secret) to young Roger, they fled England 10 years ago after the Kings men murdered Rogers father while they were hiding in a secret passage in the wall. On the run, always hiding they have had an accomplice in Father Peter , he is the only one who knows their true identity. Fast forward 10 years and they're on the run again, but this time back on English soil . They need to save their saviour and protector Father Peter from the king. He has certain documents that the King wants! Eva spots Jaimie while looking for a way to snatch back Father Peter from a bunch of henchmen and for her I think it was love at first sight . The tension between them just sizzled , they both had each other on a sexual standby , each kiss and caress was Jaimie's fall and he fell hard for Eva!!! This story has everything from treason, kidnapping and treacherous men after them . This was one roller coaster ride that will keep you turning page after page! I won't tell you Eva's secret you'll just have to read the book, but I would never have guessed! Kris Kennedy once again you ROCK!!! I strongly suggest her books .
