Medieval Creatures, Volume 1 [The Virgin, the Knight, and the Unicorn: The Virgin, the Knight and the Dragon] (BookStrand Publishing Romance)

The Virgin, the Knight, and the Unicorn [BookStrand Historical Romance, HEA]  Sir Gawain, poor and eager for glory, is on a quest to catch a unicorn. His reluctant companion, the virgin dairy-maid Matilde, hates the nobility and loses no time in clashing with the thoughtless young knight. Gawain believes that, as the man, his word should be law—a law he is quick to enforce on his companion. However, the impetuous Matilde is not easily cowed and confounds him by her unexpected responses, especially to his discipline. As they travel on their quest, the hot-tempered couple learn more about themselves and begin to compromise. Respect changes to fondness, perhaps even to love, but what future can there be between knight and bondswoman? When Matilde is taken by outlaws, Gawain realizes, almost too late, what she means to him. Can he rescue her? Can he and Matilde join forces to combat a deeper conspiracy that is ranged against them? And the unicorn? The unicorn, too, has a part to play… The Virgin, the Knight, and the Dragon [Bookstrand Romance: Historical Fantasy Romantic Suspense, HEA] Can Princess Adela, heiress to a deadly destiny, be saved by the love of a knight errant? The youngest of nine sons, Jesse is used to neglect and hand-me-downs. Becoming a knight through his own efforts, he encounters a beautiful, virtually naked stranger in the countryside above the farmlands of his old home. Who is she and how can he help her? Flaxen-haired Adela D’Varm is compelled by the magic of a faery geas to remain in the high grasslands until she is rescued by a knight—a worthy knight who must contend with a dragon. But this dragon is no ravening beast, as knights soon discover if they offer Adela any insult. Amiable and truly chivalrous, Jesse is different. Through their encounters—amusing, tender, exciting—he and Adela fall in love. But, even as they marry, Jesse and Adela encounter a deadly conspiracy and a final test for Adela. It seems that Jesse has deserted her—or has he?  ** A BookStrand Mainstream Romance
