Defying Roger - Edwards, Sarah

. .

Résumé :
A battle for the heart. As oldest son and heir, Roger of Anglesea must marry and do so advantageously. It is his duty. But his tough warrior exterior hides the heart of a true romantic. Deep down, he longs for the love and companionship shared by his parents and newly married siblings. Strong-willed and fiery, Kathryn of Mandeville is an unnatural lady. She wants nothing more than her independence and to follow in the footsteps of the Viking shield maidens of old. Once her sister, Matty, is wed, Kathryn is free to follow her chosen path. When Matty flees her arranged marriage to Roger, however, their respective plans are routed. Kathryn proposes an alliance. She will help Roger find Matty, and Roger will keep her beloved sister safe from their cruel father. As the hunt for Matty takes an unexpected turn, a fiery mutual attraction flares, and Kathryn and Roger quickly discover they are fighting a battle within-one for the heart-and one that draws them ever closer. ***Sir Arthur's Legacy is a completed five-book series. It begins with Sweet Bea and then My Lady Faye, before Conquering William and Defying Roger (previously published as Roger's Bride). All books in the series can be read standalone, but reading them in order gives you extra insight into the characters. If you want to know what happened to Henry, read book 5, Henry's Honor (previously published as Releasing Henry).***...
