Lady Isobel's Champion (The Knights of Champagne #1)

HIS LADY IN WAITING
In her long years at the convent, waiting for her betrothed, Lady Isobel de Turenne has built the Comte d'Aveyron into a fantasy--a man who will rescue, protect and love her....
But when the comte finally returns to claim his bride, Isobel finds instead a man of contradictions--one who masks dark secrets with desire.
Wary of a man's touch but desperate to grasp her new freedom, Isobel must decide if it's solely duty forcing the comte to marry or whether he is truly her longed-for champion.
