Winter's Flame (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781979175654)

♥Things are heating up at the forge♥

Resilience is the seed of emotional strength

Passion ignites and the sparks fly when a border lord and a noblewoman skilled at the forge are brought together under unusual circumstances.

Lady Winter has always had a curious nature since childhood. Even though she is a noblewoman, she has learned from the best blacksmith/swordsmith how to forge a blade. Her mentor's eyesight is failing and although he was once the best in all England, now he is doomed without Winter's help. The man has been commissioned to forge a sword from the fiest Damascus steel. To insure Lord de Grey collects on his deal, he's taken the blacksmith's son in exchange.

Sir Martin de Grey arrives in Ravenscar to collect his promised sword. He needs it to go up against his enemy - clan Dunbar in an age-old feud. Martin's brother is imprisoned there and he will do anything to save him. But when he discovers his sword is not ready and the blacksmith's lord that he make the deal with is dead, he takes drastic measures. He brings the blacksmith and his daughter to Castle Heaton to fiish forging the sword. Unexpectedly, he finds himself immensely attracted to the beautiful, but common, girl.

Winter finds herself in a predicament. Sir Martin de Grey has mistaken her for the blacksmith's daughter, and to tell him the truth would risk her friend never seeing his son again.

Sparks will fly when the truth is revealed, and circumstances turn lovers against each other. But with passion hotter than the fires of the forge between Winter and Martin, can something that started as mere lust turn into an undying love between them?
