England, 1215, the eve of Magna Carta
Jamie Lost is the king’s most renowned commander, an audacious knight ordered to kidnap an exiled priest before rebel forces close in. The mission is simple–until he comes up against a mysterious woman on a mission, a thief who will first steal his quarry and then his heart.
Eva is also seeking Father Peter, but she intends to protect him from a secret that endangers his life, even if it costs her own. She is well aware danger lies everywhere, especially in the knight showing too much interest in her activities. But deep inside, Eva knows the danger lies not in Jamie, but in her, in the desire he awakens in her body and her heart.
When a mysterious band of armed mercenaries upends both their plans and abducts the priest, Jamie and Eva must form an uneasy alliance, and as civil war unfolds around them, they embark on an epic journey that betrays the truth about their identities, their unexpected loyalties, and the dangerous attraction that could seal their fates forever.
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Kris Kennedy. Her books remind me of epic, lovely old school romances, without all the unnecessary drama. Her latest release, Defiant

I love a good historical and have become immersed lately in this time frame (just finished The Greatest Knight by Elizabeth Chadwick which is set before this but not by much).
There’s something about a romance set in a historical time period (that’s not all about balls and soirees) that stir the senses!

I’d love to win this book because I like medievals. There are never enough good ones for me. Plus, I like the cover.
oops! I forgot to add my email to the previous comment.

This does indeed sound like those wonderful epic novels I first read in high school and a historical period that has always fascinated me. Would really love to experience this modern take on that time and what better way than in a Kris Kennedy novel.

Thanks for a chance to win,

Good Medivals are hard to find these days. I have read and enjoyed her two prior books ‘The Conqueror’ and ‘The Irish Warrior’ and am looking forward to this one.
There’s just so compelling about the Medival period! So much adventure. Historical romances are my favorite genre.

I really enjoyed her 1st 2 books and love midievals (so happy that wonderful authors like Kris is bringing them back to life). Love knights who are troubled and maidens with hidden strength, add a little intrigue — sounds like a fab read to me.
I’m new to this author but would ya take a look at that..sword…yeah the sword..it’s the selling point here.:)
I also happen to love when the hero and heroine happen to have the same strong fiery temperments.
Thanks for this giveaway!

I’ve wanted to read Defiant ever since I read the blurb for the first time. I’ve loved all of the excerpts I’ve read also. I like that the hero and heroine start as adversaries. That situation usually creates sparks. I would love to win Defiant!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I wonder if i have just missed the deadline? I love Kris Kennedy’s books. Her Fantastic covers made me follow my first ever click through ad, and i spent hours hunting her books down on the web. i’m in australia and we dont get them in paper copies here. I would love to win this one, but if i don’t, i’ll be buying it anyway.
Cheers,
