But all that changed when the Crusades began, and Isabeau was abducted, transported to the torrid climes of the Mid East, and sold....Jared had journeyed east, vowing to stay until he found his lady...but there his hopes died and his heart hardened. Now called the Black Lion, he was a fierce mercenary, about to begin a dangerous mission in the employ of a mysterious black-veiled renegade warrior...Jared never guessed that Isabeau had survived, fleeing the erotic realms of a harem to become this legendary desert rebel.
