Kit Clevedon knows that he should stay away from the young school teacher he first met in the African bush but his attraction to the girl who lives in a different world to him is rapidly turning into something a lot more.
A Marcher Lord (Book 1 of the Borderers Series)
The Anglo Scottish border in 1547 is a land at war. Jane Marchant, recently orphaned, arrives from France to live with her English aunt and uncle and finds an unhappy household. A rash decision to act as messenger for an injured English courier takes her across the war torn border and into the hands of William Scott, Lord of Crawleigh, a baron loyal to the Scottish crown.
As the war rages between the two nations, Jane finds unexpected peace at Crawleigh castle and realises that loyalties are never that simple in these border lands. But with secrets of her own to hide, can she reconcile her duty to her country with her feelings for the Scottish Lord who has become her protector and her friend?
For Lord Crawleigh, the English girl is a distraction and a temptation. But how can he trust her when she will not even tell him her name?
