Sword of the Heart

To beautiful young Alix Beauchamp, Philip de Saines was an enigma, a chevalier who refused to defend his honor, a man who arrogantly ignored the rules of courtly love. Betrothed to his brother Julian, Alix knew Philip could have no place in her heart. She longed for a man to right the terrible wrongs done her family, to do battle with the marauding Montforts who had stolen their fiefdom. Philip could never be that man, yet it was in his arms that she had tasted forbidden love, and it was in his high and lonely tower that she learned a knight need not wage war to wield the Sword of the Heart.
