Books like The Maiden and the Warrior by Jacqueline Navin
Lucien de Montregnier is a warrior whose battlefield prowess has earned him not just victories but also the unwanted inheritance of love, from the unlikely Lady Alayna of Avenford. Alayna, a widowed noblewoman with a fiery spirit, has long been catalogued as a war prize, her past marred by grief yet tempered by resilience.
Lucien battles both external foes and the demons of his own history, while Alayna hunts to protect herself from becoming another casualty. Yet something beneath their shared disdain draws eight their paths together, hinting that perhaps the bravest hearts are those that find hope in each other’s eyes.
