Description
In the glittering, sumptuous court of Eleanor of Aquitaine, betrayal lurks around every corner. The queen is at odds with her king, and to obey one could mean treason against the other. Even Alienore, considered the most virtuous lady at court, holds secrets: whether masquerading as a knight on the tourney field to defend those without a champion or desperately trying to keep her lands—and her maidenhead—from the Duke of Ormonde.
THE BLACK KNIGHT
He is called the Raven—his face scarred by a Saracen blade, his voice raspy with the effects of Greek fire. His parentage is unknown, his prowess legendary. And he’ll sell his sword to the highest bidder. As his piercing eyes track her every move, Alienore wonders who he’s working for now: finding a spy for King Henry? sent by the duke to fetch her home? Or is each heated touch, each whispered promise of pleasure part of a much more personal mission?

-Gerri Russel, RT American Title winner, author of Seducing the Knight
"Exciting and passionate!"-Robin Maxwell, bestselling author of The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn
"With a powerful plot and elegant prose, Laura Navarre spins a romantic story in the time of Richard the Lionheart. In The Devil's Temptress, the heroine is adventurous and brave, the hero dangerous and complex, and the setting is evocative. I loved the court intrigue, the portrayal of Eleanor of Acquitaine, and the poignant romance of these aristocratic outcasts"-Alicia Rasley, RITA-award winning author of The Year She Fell
"Historical romance has a new champion--Laura Navarre! The Devil's Temptress is historical romance at its finest--sumptuous, seductive, and thrilling. Alienore and the Raven are exactly the passionate, larger-than-life characters I love to read about."-Nancy Holder, New York Times Bestselling Author of Wicked and Crusade
“Laura Navarre is a new-to-me author that's made me a fan through her carefully crafted, engaging, historically contextual, romantic, and plausible tale of one broken knight and one virtuous woman who learn that saving themselves can be found in the arms of another. I recommend this book to those historical romance fans who enjoy a strong historically articulated tale where romance is carefully unfolded and reveled, and sexual tension holds more presence then graphic sex. I'm definitely looking forward to what Laura Navarre has in store for readers next!”—Among the Muses
