The Lily and the Sword

by Sara Bennett

Overview

Pulled from her hiding place in an old Saxon church, Lady Lily is forced to face the warrior who's been hunting for her — Radulf, the King's Sword, a man known as cold and heartless/merciless; a man whose name all fear to speak. But when she looks into his coal-dark eyes, it is not fear that makes her tremble, but desire. She may have to conceal her true identity to save her life, but there's little hope of shielding her heart.

Radulf is a proven warrior who knows better than to ignore his instinct that Lily is not entirely who she pretends to be, but instead he finds himself fighting his burning need to possess her. When her true identity is revealed to his — and the King's — fury, he nevertheless marries her... not to protect her from the king's wrath, he tells himself, but to watch her closely. For Radulf was betrayed by a woman once before and trusting Lily could cost him his life. But it's a risk he's willing, even eager, to take.

About the Author

Looking back, I always seemed to be writing something, but the first time I actually thought I might make a career as a writer was when I won the local short story contest.

Suddenly my name was in the newspaper and people had heard of me, and I was actually paid! Probably until then, although I had dreamed of being a writer, I had never expected to make a career from it. I thought writing was a hobby. After the contest win I began to wonder if, maybe, one day I would be able to write and not have to work to support my habit!

As well as writing for Avon in the USA, over the years I have written for Mills & Boon/Harlequin as Deborah Miles. Two of these early books have now been reissued as eBooks (See My Books Page). I also wrote as Lilly Sommers for the Australian market, and these books are being reissued in Germany and Australia under the name Kaye Dobbie.

I currently juggle my writing with sharing an old house and big garden with my husband, as well as far too many animals. Sometimes writing anything is a struggle but I keep trying because I love it.
