THE BARON

AVAILABLE NOW
FROM BANTAM BOOKS.
Follow this award-winning author to
thirteenth-century England, where a
recent widow of a Norman knight, Lady
Jane Neville, resolves to use her position
and her husband’s wealth to alleviate the
suffering of the common people. With the
newfound freedom of her social position,
she is able to make their cause her own—
until one man steps in her way. Not only
is the new sheriff a threat to her mission,
but he endangers the one thing she’s
sworn never to surrender … her heart.
Furious to learn that the notorious outlaw
Robin Hood has renewed his nefarious
activities in Nottingham and Lincolnshire,
Sir Tré sets out to find and destroy the
rebel and his loyal bandits. He must
restore peace to the region or face the
consequences from the king who
appointed him … and the last thing he
needs is the beautiful, intelligent—and
willful—distraction of Lady Jane. Little
does he know that he will soon be forced
to choose between his life and saving the
woman whose cause he set out to
destroy—even as she’s ignited the passion
in his soul.
