Lady Danger

by Sarah McKerrigan



      The Maids of Rivenloch pave the way for modern women in this entrancing tale of Scottish warriors and Norman Knights.

Deirdre, due to her beloved father's mental incapacity, holds the mantle of warrior and steward to Rivenloch's men and all who reside within and without the castle walls. As the eldest child, she takes her duties seriously, and when King David awards stewardship of her home and the promise of one of the three Rivenloch heirs as his bride to Sir Pagan Cameliard, a Norman knight, she is incensed. She will do anything to prevent him from marrying her youngest sister, even if she must sacrifice herself to do it.

Pagan is honored by his unexpected bounty, but when he is caught spying on two beautiful and buxom maids swimming in their natural glory, he is flummoxed by the one who makes more than one of his swords ready for battle. Deirdre isn't the bride he would choose -he wants the youngest, and meekest lass. Why borrow trouble if he doesn't have to? But trouble is just what he gets when his siren bride challenges him to a sword fight.

Both warrior maid and knight indulge in heated encounters, cross swords, and bond together to protect their mutual holdings. Deirdre soon discovers that the warrior knight isn't all that bad and the knight in question finds that having a woman guard his back isn't the end of the world.

Additional characters include Helena; the next-to-older sister who is called "Hel" for short, and Miriel, who isn't as weak as her sisters think. Add to that double brew of trouble a few more handsome knights, humor, and heated love scenes for a fantastic medieval read.
