Then she spies Camelot's newest knight, the notorious Sir Nicholas the Dragon, a champion as renowned for his prowess in the beds of Camelot's maidens as for his skill in battle. Noelle's heart has found the man she longs for, even as her hand is promised to another.

But spending time with the proud beauty awakens an irresistible hunger in him. Now, as desire does battle with duty, Nicholas has only two choices --to surrender the woman he loves to another man or fight to the end to make her his own.
