Author Description

Lady Joanna has seen how merciless men can be, and she has no desire for one in her life. But when outlaws raid her land, terrorizing her daughter and the villagers, she realizes she can't handle this alone. Yet if it is a man she must have, then let it be one she can control—a mercenary who will restore the peace, then be on his way. Logan Grimm is, by reputation, the most fearsome warrior in the kingdom. His prowess with a sword is legendary, his loyalty to the one who pays him unquestioned. Yet when Grimm strides into her manor— his shoulders broad enough to bear any burden, his eyes as dark as midnight—Joanna fears she's made a terrible mistake. For while this dangerous man is defeating her enemies, who, pray tell, will be safeguarding her heart?
