All rights reserved "This book is so well done, you live the life and the language, smell the odors of unwashed humanity, and hear the sucking sounds as your flimsy shoes slog through mud and muck.... Rob and Johanna will keep you on the edge of your seat, and make your heart swell with love." - Lee Emory A WOMAN ABANDONED A MAN BANISHED AND FAMINE WALKS THE LAND Johanna of Stanrudde, wife of Katel the Spice Merchant, hates the man her father forced her to marry almost as much as she hates the man who years ago stole her heart and her virginity then betrayed her. Forced to abandon Johanna by her father, Robert of Blacklea has never stopped loving her. Now, as famine walks the land, he discovers a plot to destroy her. He returns to Stanrudde, risking all to protect her from certain death. When Johanna learns Katel is at the root of this plot she must choose to either let her husband kill her lover or believe Rob when he vows she has always been his rightful w Contributor Bio:  Domning, Denise Denise Domning's first Medieval novel, Winter's Heat, received the Romantic Times award for Best First Historical Novel of 1994. That led her into a series of books that take place in the Twelfth century, the time of Robin Hood and Richard the Lionheart, in which she follows the lives of five brothers. After Winter's Heat came Summer's Storm, then Spring's Fury and its sequel Autumn's Flame. A Love For All Seasons completes the set. From there Denise thought she'd dabble a little with the Elizabethans. Set in the court of Elizabeth I, Lady in Waiting was praised by Publisher's Weekly as "well written, well researched, with an accurate portrayal of Elizabeth I." Lady in White, an Elizabethan ghost story, followed. After that she returned to the 13th Century and the court of King John with The Warrior's Wife, The Warrior's Maiden, and The Warrior's Game. At the urging of her then-editor, Denise made an unexpected dodge into the early 19th Century with Almost Perfect, in which she features a a great-many times over-grandson of her first book's hero. Denise is presently living out her own version of "Under the Tuscan Sun" only doing it near Sedona, Arizona and doing it Green.
