“The great Crusader king Richard the Lionheart comes alive in all his complex splendor in this masterpiece of medieval tapestry.”—Margaret George

A.D. 1189. After the death of his father, Henry II, and the early demise of two of his brothers, Richard is crowned King of England and immediately sets off for the Holy Land.

In this engrossing saga, Sharon Kay Penman delivers a novel of passion, intrigue, battle, and deceit. Lionheart is a sweeping tale of a heroic figure—feared by his enemies and beloved by those he commanded—who became a legend in his own lifetime.

Her Love is something I’ve always been afraid of so I guarded myself from it. When I met Kam he changed everything. He smashed down the walls I had so carefully constructed around myself. He illuminated a world I didn’t think could ever be possible for me, that the dream I protected could become a reality. But Kam doesn’t know that my walls are up for a reason.

When I met Alana I wanted her from the moment I saw her. Tight black material hugged every curve of her body. She stood on heels sharp enough to slit a throat. Plump red lips…it was like she was straight out of Maxim—any man’s fantasy—but behind the sex appeal, smart mouth, and edginess…is something else. And I plan to peel back every single layer to find out what.
