Lady Danger (The Warrior Maids of Rivenloch Book 1) by Glynnis Campbell
The lasses of the Rivenloch clan are Scottish warrior maids, born to the blade…Firstborn Deirdre of Rivenloch never shies away from a fight, even against overbold men who consider her a prize. But she’s never met a man quite like Pagan Cameliard, the fierce knight commanded to wed into her clan, and when she marries him to save her sister, she soon finds she’s losing the battle over her heart.
“Sir, do you accept my challenge or not?”
“Since you won’t engage me in our bed, my lady, I suppose engaging me in the tiltyard is a reasonable alternative.” He held her gaze and slid his sword from its sheath with suggestive languor.
Deirdre swallowed hard. The man was incorrigible. Even on the field of battle, he attempted to seduce her. And God help her, it was having some effect. His eyes burned into hers with the smoldering promise of pleasure. And his mouth, set in that self-assured grin…she remembered too well how it felt upon hers, warm and sweet and demanding.
Nay! She wouldn’t think of that. She had to fight him.
Moreover, this time she had to win.
