Only lies can keep her children alive...Alexandre is a powerful Norman nobleman haunted by memories of a troubled past. He has sworn never to marry. Elayne is a Scottish noblewoman masquerading as the nursemaid of her own children, sent to Normandy by Scotland's King David as good faith hostages. Neither she nor her children are who they purport to be and only lies can keep them alive.The struggle for the throne of England between Stephen and Maud in the 12th century provides the historical backdrop for this story.
Jeopardy is book ten in the Montbryce Legacy series by Anna Markland. Although you can read these books as stand alones, I don’t recommend that. I think you should begin at the first book which is called Conquest and read straight through. I have thoroughly enjoyed each one of these books. Jeopardy is no different. Markland weaves actual historical events all through the story and brings her characters to life masterfully. I enjoyed Alex and Elayne’s relationship. “His warm lips brushed hers gently, but his kiss rocked her. His mouth lingered, waiting for her reaction. She should protest, object, be outraged, but instead she opened for him.” There are steamy sex scenes, intrigue, mystery and humor all rolled into one great book. I was given a copy of this book.
