Books like The Lion in Glory by Heather Graham

During the reign of King Robert the Bruce, the tides of war turn in favor of the valiant Scots who reclaim lands held by the English. Jamie Graham arrives at Hamstead Heath to seize the manor, seeing no need for a captive—except for Christina, the spirited chatelaine who, after her attempts to trick him fail, insists on becoming his hostage. Christina’s sole goal is to flee her brother from the fortress, newly occupied by the English king who has accused her family of treason. Though her growing affection for Jamie threatens to derail her mission, she resolves to master the art of jousting, disguise herself to win a tournament, and secure her brother’s release. The story follows the delicate balance of love, duty, and survival as fate threatens everything she holds dear—her life, her land, and the man who has captured her heart.
