He’s sworn to guard her. But no armor can protect a heart from forbidden love.
Lady Raven Blake refuses to be a prize in her father’s tournament. Trained with a sword at her brother’s side, she’s determined to take control of her fate—even if it means tricking the castle’s new armorer into helping her.
Jonathon Armstrong is no ordinary smith. Warrior, mercenary, and master of steel, he knows the peril of defying nobles. Yet when Raven demands he forge her secret armor, desire burns hotter than the forge fire.
But love between a noblewoman and a commoner is forbidden. To claim each other, they’ll risk betrayal, ruin, and their very lives.
From bestselling author Elizabeth Rose comes a tale of passion, danger, and a love strong enough to defy the laws of their world.
