Untamed (Medieval Series #1)

He conquered the Holy Land to win an English keep, but taming an unbroken Celtic bride will demand far more than a warrior’s sword.

Returning home triumphant from the Crusades, Dominic le Sabre is determined to claim the bride promised to him by the king, but the high-born Celtic beauty is equally determined to resist him.

From the high stone walls, Margaret watches a ruthless Norman knight ride through the mists without an army. Dominic hungers for an heir to secure his newly won domain, but the spirited daughter of Glendruid knows her lineage carries an ancient curse.

To shield her impoverished tenants from a ruinous border war, she accepts the decreed match before the altar. He vows to master the defiant lady by patient siege, but the gifted healer will surrender neither her will nor her keep to cold ambition.

Can a battle-scarred Norman knight win the devotion of a Glendruid healer before treason tears Blackthorne Keep apart?
