The Templar's Seduction (Templar Knights)

The Templar's Seduction is book 3 in The Templar Knights Series. Bound by Deception… Captured by a powerful English lord and sentenced to hang for murder, errant Templar Knight Sir Alexander de Ashby has little left in the world to care for, and nothing left to lose. In a last-minute reprieve, his captors offer him an unorthodox chance for survival...a bargain like nothing he had ever fathomed. He must agree to impersonate the Earl of Marston, a Scottish sympathizer who died after years in English custody – a man to whom Alex bears an uncanny resemblance. Only by infiltrating Marston’s border castle and spying for the English, will Alex gain his freedom. But first he must convince the people that he is their master returned...and the earl’s beautiful Scottish bride that his rightful place is in her bed. Saved by love. Having been but newly wed when her husband was taken, Lady Elizabeth is overjoyed that rumors of his death after long captivity were false—even as she is startled and then seduced by the passionate man who has seemingly come home to her. Though he is different in some ways from the husband she had known before, Beth suppresses her doubts, welcoming the roguish “earl” back into her heart. Little does she know that the handsome imposter intends to vanish once his mission is complete. And yet escape may prove impossible for him, even after his secret is revealed, for now it is Alexander who has been bewitched by this proud, remarkable lady…until he desires nothing more than to live—and die if he must—to protect and cherish her in return. For she has become his reason to survive, her glorious love sustaining and helping him redeem the sins of a lifetime, as he surrenders himself heart and soul to her in... THE TEMPLAR’S SEDUCTION
