About this book
**They were both outcasts by a harsh decree — and on the brink of a shared destiny of passion!** With her father murdered, her home burned, lovely Alyx Blackelt fled to the woods — and sanctuary in the camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king’s edict. There she hid her beauty in the guise of a boy, and her sorrow in her work as Montgomery’s squire. But how long could such loveliness as hers be hidden? How long could such a gallant man’s desires be blind? And how soon — even as a blood feud raged between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor — one woman’s love would make all the difference…one woman’s love would inflame a hero’s passion, touch a king’s pity, and raise a song of praise in every English heart.

Noble Seed
Christine Marion Fraser
Anna McIntyre, now eighteen, has enjoyed her time of respite while her brutal father Roderick has been sent away to work by Sir Malaroy of Noble House. But little does she know that her life is about to be changed radically — all because of the chance discovery of the Luckenbooth locket given to her years ago by her estranged mother. Few people know the real story behind the necklace - the untold anguish, remorse, bloodshed and blackmail that have been kept secret for a generation. As events of the past — acts of murder, abuse and outrage — are revealed, the truth finally begins to emerge, but can it really liberate the McIntyre and Noble families, or will the prick be too high? Set in the beautiful Scottish countryside, Fraser delicately weaves an intricate plot of fascinating characters. This is the third book in the Noble Saga following Noble Beginnings and Noble Deeds.
