Champion

His flame-licked blue eyes burn into the depths of your soul. His thick, golden mane shines like a halo -- yet he is no angel. He is a knight without mercy, gravely wounded by the ultimate betrayal. And he has vowed to love no more.

Six warriors have come to Aurora's rescue, yet only one can be her champion. With her castle under siege, it is the Venetian knight Niccolo Campioni to whom the endangered princess turns. But though she burns for her bold, brooding defender, Aurora knows he trusts her not. For Niccolo falsely believes the beguiling beauty has conspired to deceive him, even as his own heart aches with wanting her. And in the end, it is a passion that will not be denied -- though it perilously tempts an ancient curse that demands they love truly...or die.
