My Champion (Knights de Ware #1)

Wealthy and powerful, the de Wares are one of the most respected noble families in England. The heirs to the de Ware legacy—Duncan, Holden, and Garth—are true warriors...and reckless lovers...

Duncan de Ware has sworn to defend those who cannot defend themselves. So when the lovely Linet de Montfort publicly humiliates a notorious sea reiver, Duncan disguises himself as a gypsy and appoints himself her protector. Linet doesn't believe her life is in danger, nor does she wish to associate with a common peasant—no matter how handsome he is.

Impressed by Linet's courage as he is by her beauty, Duncan continues to shadow her despite her protests. But when the reiver abducts her. Linet realizes that her only hope may be to trust the mysterious gypsy with her life—and her heart... Rated '3/5 - Open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
