Templar Prize Erotic Novel By Deanna Ashford Desire

At last free of a disastrous forced marriage. Edwina de Moreville accompanies Princess Berengaria and her betrothed, Richard the Lionheart on a quest to the Holy Land to recapture Jerusalem from the Saracens. Recently reunited with her first and only love, Stephen the Comte de Chalais, their passion for each other is as strong as ever. But the path before them is shrouded in danger and betrayal and will be far from easy.

Storms at sea, cruel emperors, tyrant kings, renegade Knights Templar and Saracen noblemen all make their desperate situation even more perilous, until even Saladin has a part to play in their destiny.

'"We should not," Edwina protested, all too briefly, before his lips covered hers. She thought she would swoon from the sheer bliss as Stephen's tongue unexpectedly eased its way into her mouth. She clung onto him like a drowning woman as the pleasure overwhelmed her, making a soft entreating sound as he pulled her even closer, crushing her breasts against his muscular chest.'
