Updated reissue of The Warrior—originally published by
Avon Books in March 1995.
SummaryBestselling author Nicole Jordan weaves a
breathtakingly sensuous story of love and passion between
the valiant Ariane of Claredon and the fierce knight who
loses his heart to her...
For five turbulent years, Ariane has dutifully prepared
herself for marriage to King Henry's most trusted vassal,
the legendary Norman knight Ranulf de Vernay. But cruel
circumstance has branded Ariane's father a traitor to the
Crown. And now Ranulf is returning to Claredon, not as a
bridegroom... but as a conqueror.
Survivor of a hellish youth, Ranulf knows well the
treacheries of noblewomem—and mistrusts the regal,
defiant beauty to whom he was once betrothed. But while he
shields his wounded heart with impenetrable armor, she sears
his soul with sensuous fire. Ranulf may have vowed to claim
her lands and her body as his prize, but ultimately it is
the mighty warrior who must surrender to Ariane's proud,
determined passion—and her remarkable healing love.
