1333. Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself and jumps at the chance when a powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret mission with a dozen elite knights.
They ride north, to a crumbling Scottish keep, capturing a feral, half-starved boy within and putting the other inhabitants to the sword.
But nobody knows why the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his squire, with only two rules: dont let him escape, and convert him to the English cause.
At first, its hopeless. The Scottish boy is surly and violent and eats anything that isnt nailed down. Then Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harrys Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally convinces the boy – Iain mac Maíl Coluim – to cut his filthy curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing Harry has ever seen.
With Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iains growing passion for each other, and Iains mysterious heritage. As England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy everything Harry holds dear.
A sexy, slow-burn, enemies to lovers historical romance, Alex De Campi delivers a steamy but tender love story.

Charles.
This novel contains explicit sexual content and adult themes.
