One Wylde Knight - Le Veque, Kathryn

. .

Résumé :
The bigger and badder they are, the harder they fall... Dark, sultry, with a hint of fire in his blood from his Visigoth ancestors and a spark in his eye that betray his killer instincts, Thorington Thor de Reyne is the son of the Earl of Ashington and one of the greatest knights England has ever seen. His talent is unmatched, so much so that the king himself has demanded Thor's service. But he has to fight Thor's own father to get him. Much in demand, Thor has an ego that is fed by the warlords and kings who are fighting over him. But he has own plans and that includes getting rich, rich enough so that he won't have to serve at the whim of a king or an earl. And the king knows it. In a strategic move, the king offers a marriage to Thor, to the richest heiress in England if not the entire world. Lady Caledonia de Wylde is a woman with more money than the king himself and quite possibly more land than any other landholder in England. Not only was she an heiress in her own right, but she married - and was widowed by - a man with roots that went back before the Norman conquest. She's younger than Thor, and and brings three daughters with her, but Thor doesn't care. He'll get the money he wants and the power he very much craves. But what he didn't expect was to fall in love with her. And that's where the tides change. Lady Caledonia has an enemy, one so dark and devious that he'll do anything to gain her money, her lands, and her very life if he can. Unbeknownst to Thor, he finds himself marrying into an explosive situation where he could very well be the spark that ignites the blaze. Now, he has a wife and an empire to protect, but it's not Thor who ultimately does the protecting. It's Caledonia.
