The Red Wolf's Prize (26 page)

As a child Regan Walker loved to write stories, particularly
about adventure-loving girls, but by the time she got to college more serious
pursuits took priority. One of her professors encouraged her to pursue the
profession of law, which she did. Years of serving clients in private practice
and several stints in high levels of government gave her a love of
international travel and a feel for the demands of the “Crown” on its subjects.
Hence her romance novels often involve a demanding sovereign who thinks of his
subjects as his private talent pool.

Regan lives in San Diego with her golden retriever, Link,
whom she says inspires her every day to relax and smell the roses.

HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED HIS PRIZE

Sir Renaud de Pierrepont, the Norman knight known as the Red
Wolf for the beast he slayed with his bare hands, hoped to gain lands with his
sword. A year after the Conquest, King William rewards his favored knight with
Talisand, the lands of an English thegn slain at Hastings, and orders him to
wed Lady Serena, the heiress that goes with them

SHE WOULD LOVE HIM AGAINST HER WILL

Serena wants nothing to do with the fierce warrior to whom
she has been unwillingly given, the knight who may have killed her father. When
she learns the Red Wolf is coming to claim her, she dyes her flaxen hair brown
and flees, disguised as a servant, determined to one day regain her lands. But
her escape goes awry and she is brought back to live among her people, though
not unnoticed by the new Norman lord.

Deprived of his promised bride, the Red Wolf turns his
attention to the comely servant girl hoping to woo her to his bed. But the
wench resists, claiming she hates all Normans.

As the passion between them rises, Serena wonders, can she
deny the Norman her body? Or her heart?
