The Prize of Pursuit

by Claire Harris

Overview

Their paths were never supposed to cross......... England 1285 A.D. - Abducted from her carriage for ransom Adela de Rennes never expected to be saved by such a bold and powerful man. The mighty mercenary, Theobald de Moy, had no interest in rescuing a wayward woman or getting involved in family disputes but an old debt persuaded him to intervene. It was supposed to be a simple task, but sometimes the simplest of tasks go awry. He was never supposed to find the Lady Adela captivating and want to claim her for his own. As sparks ignite between them forces beyond their control attempt to keep them apart. An angry father and a sly suitor both make devious plans to gain more power and prestige, all while bartering with Adela's life. Caught between family alliances and searing passion Adela and Theobald embark on a journey of mystery, murder, and love. They must make the ultimate decision; fight for their love or let the sinister forces tear them apart.
