Lord of Winter - Kathryn Le Veque

1187 A.D. - The call him the Great Defender. As Richard the Lionheart's most powerful general, Sir Juston de Royans is as moody as he is skilled. Reminiscent of the ancient warrior Achilles, Juston fights when it is necessary, instead choosing to command the powerful men beneath him. Never wrong in action or command, he has never lost a battle and when he finds himself in the midst of a terrible siege at Bowes Castle, he predictably emerges the victor with the lady of the keep as his prize. And that's when the trouble begins. When the never-wrong egotist meets the flame that will melt his frozen heart, a romance of epic proportions happens.
