In the King's Service
by Margaret Moore

'Twas said he could whisper a woman to bed, and now Sir Blaidd Morgan had turned his considerable charms on Lady Becca Throckton. But could she trust his intent? A childhood injury had made her fit to be no man's bride, and yet the Welsh warrior made her feel she'd a right to her woman's heart!

The Lady Becca surprised him, and that was rare, Sir Blaidd mused. Indeed, she had a fire that stirred him in unexpected ways. Though he could ill afford a dalliance on this secret mission for his king, he found himself entranced. Surely this was no mere idyll. Nay, this had the feel of forever...!

Margaret Moore's Bio

Margaret actually began her career at the tender age of eight, when she and a friend would concoct stories of a beautiful damsel and a handsome, misunderstood thief nicknamed "The Red Sheik." She's had a soft spot for handsome rogues ever since.

Unknowingly pursuing her destiny, Margaret graduated with distinction from the University of Toronto with a degree in English Literature. She also spent time in the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, where she learned to spit shine shoes, yell at men, and experience the joy of marching for no discernible reason.

Margaret has written over 25 books for Harlequin Historicals and Avon Books, including a Young Adult historical romance for HarperCollins Childrens Books. She now writes for HQN Books.
