title: A Knight's Persuasion
author:  Catherine Kean 
description: A promising match turns into a bitter misunderstanding when young Edouard de Lanceau makes a bet to steal a kiss from Juliana de Greyne, his potential betrothed, and is forced to confess his actions were a ruse. Years later, though more tender feelings still lie beneath the surface, fate conspires to keep them apart when Edouard is tricked into a betrothal by Julianas sister Nara. However, when Juliana is attacked and loses her memory, Edouard finds her still alive, and dares to hope at a chance to make amends. Kean continues the sword-wielding adventures first told in A Knights Vengeance (2006) and A Knights Temptation (2009), delivering more of her winning brand of medieval lore kissed with Hollywood drama, and complete with the return of the diabolically over-the-top Veronique. Readers will root for the intrepid couple, and take with them a warm feeling at the conclusion of this sweet romance. --Nina C. Davis

  terror and outrage, and her fingers snarled in desperation around the harness.
  
  But to no avail. He plucked her up with ease, lifting her so high that her
  feet were far above the ground. Under the sheer force of the movement, her
  grip loosened on the harness and her fingers flailed in the air as he slammed
  her against his solid frame to carry her away.
  
  The jolting impact of the man’s body against her own s
