1231 A.D. — After a nasty skirmish along the England/Scotland border at Bog Wood, a badly wounded knight has crawled off to die. As women from the Clan Scott fan out across the battlefield to collect the spoils of war, one woman breaks off from the pack. She is sickened by the tradition of stealing valuables off the dead and runs off to hide. In her hiding place, however, lingers the badly … wounded knight. The young woman is frightened at first but her natural instinct to lend aid takes over. She tends the knight and saves his life. Little does the Lady Jordan Scott know that she has just saved the life of the dreaded English knight known to her people as The Wolf….
Several months later, peace is proposed along the border. An English groom is offered to a Scots bride. The Lady Jordan Scott is that bride and her groom is the aged and powerful Earl of Teviot, John de Longley. When Lord de Longley sends his mighty and hated army to collect his new bride, the captain of the army personally retrieves Lady Jordan. When Jordan looks upon the fearsome English knight, she realizes there is something oddly familiar about his voice. When the man finally reveals himself, she sees that it is none other than the man whose life she saved. Sir William de Wolfe, the scourge of the Scots, makes his presence known.
William has never forgotten about his Scots angel. One look at the Lady Jordan after all of these months and he is stricken with appreciation and adoration. He has thought of nothing else but the lady since the time she tended his injury and now, his infatuation with her takes flight. As he escorts her back to Northwood Castle to wed his liege, each passing minute sees him fall more and more hopelessly in love with her. Jordan comes to know the man beyond The Wolf of legend, and so the love story begins….
Join William and Jordan in a tale of true and utter devotion, of a love that bleeds beyond the boundaries of Scots and English, and where loyalty, friendship, and family bind them all together in this uncertain and political world. These are the dark days of dark times, but in the midst of a treacherous world of secrets and hatred, William and Jordan share a love that is only dreamt of. Come and be a part of the journey of The Wolf and his lady that transcends time.

Pas très original, trop long, trop convenu.
I enjoyed this book, but found it extremely long for the plot. The main characters were likable, though the main female character repeatedly made incredibly stupid decisions. The author set up several plot lines which then fizzled to unsatisfactory resolutions. When I read that the author was proud that she didn’t cut anything out of this book, …
this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I am a fan of Scotish history, and this one is of earlier times than most. One of the best true love stories to boot.
Great medieval romance, as is the entire series.
Good read. Intresting historical info without interfering with story. Do they make men that perfect? Probably not but still good read.
Absolutely riveting!!! Almost 800 pages and I could not put it down! What a tale she weaves and the epilogue was such a surprise!! Loved, loved, loved this book!
Loved it!
This book began well. It was witty and fast paced, but after awhile the pace slow. It slowed to the point of being boring at times. I like the idea of following the two main characters beyond happily ever after, but the pace needed to move, and not get bogged down, as I I felt it did. The characters remained interesting and that save the book for …
This was a beautiful book. It was one that kept you captivated! It was also very long, which was great since I didn’t want it to end! Such a great read!
This book, though long, kept me reading. I could not leave the wonderful characters without knowing what was going to happen next.
Loved this book!! Loved it just as much as WarWolfe…maybe even better!
This is one of my favorite Medieval romances that Kathryn LeVeque has written! The characters are wonderful and draw the reader into their situation and the romance is so very sweet!
This author handles historical fiction very well
Loved the ending
Could stand the female lead, tears On her death bed, then runs away to go swimming when someone tries to kill her. Then her wound starts hurting her. Blah blah blah
loved it
This is by far one of the best books I have ever read! I was amazed by all the twists and turns in this book. I would highly recommend this book. The author should be very proud of their writing skills and plot line!
A quick read for the beach. Nothing deep just fluffy dialogue and a bit of action.
Enjoyed this book well enough that I bought the next thirteen books in this series. That is the best recommendation I can give any book.
Love her books
