This sequel to The Wild Hunt ( LJ 9/1/91) continues the tale of Norman lords on the Welsh border in the 12th century. Henry I has secured his throne, but the succession is in doubt after the death of his only son. Henry seeks to have his daughter Maud confirmed as heir but must outface hostile barons who do not want a female ruler. Lord Guyon's daughter Heulwen and Adam de Lacey, babies in the first book, are the protagonists here. As before, the emphasis is on romance rather than history, as Heulwen and Adam fall in love, marry, and endure personal and political crises prompted by Henry, Maud, and their Welsh and Norman neighbors.

The Running Vixen
The beloved second book in The Wild Hunt series: stunning historical detail, beguiling characters and superb storytelling.
A forbidden love takes England to the brink of war ...
1126. Heulwen, daughter of Welsh Marcher baron Guyon FitzMiles, has grown up with her father's ward, Adam de Lacey.
There has always been a spark between them, but when Heulwen marries elsewhere, a devastated Adam absents himself on a diplomatic mission for King Henry I.
When her husband is killed in a skirmish, Heulwen's father considers a new marriage for her with his neighbour's son, Warrin de Mortimer. Adam, recently returned to England, is determined not to lose Heulwen a second time.
But Heulwen is torn between her duty to her father and the pull of her heart.
Adam is no longer the awkward boy she remembers, but a man who stirs every fibre of her being-which places them both in great danger, because Warrin de Mortimer is not a man to be crossed and the future of a country is at stake ...
