Taken by His Sword

Young Alexandra aspires to be a great swordfighter, but when handsome Lord Philippe kisses her, she finds herself willing to give up her heart and her blade to be with him. That is, until she learns he took another woman to bed after giving Alexandra her first kiss. Humiliated, Alexandra leaves to become a mercenary, known for her quick wits, expert blade, and dedication to the people she guides. And if she ever sees him again, she’ll knock that seductive smile right off his goddamned face. Philippe never forgot the tender kiss he and Alexandra shared, and he never forgave himself for acting so badly. Years later, when tracking a mysterious foe, the mercenary hired to lead him is the same enticing girl he unwittingly destroyed. But she is a woman now. Philippe soon realizes that winning her affection will be more difficult than subduing the danger in their land. And if dodging her punches means he can get a taste of her, then this adventure will be more explosive than ever expected.
