"Great medieval romance"
In 1357 on the Scottish border, widow Lady Reyna Graham
concocts a dangerous but necessary plan to try to save her
people. The siege led by English mercenary Ian Guilford
and his ally Morvan Fitzwaryn (star of THE PROTECTOR) is
working so well that it jeopardizes her clan. Reyna
dresses up as a courtesan to gain access to her enemy's
camp so that she can kill Ian, known for his military and
boudoir prowess as the LORD OF A THOUSAND NIGHTS. However, Ian is not anything like Reyna's deceased much
older spouse Robert and so she underestimates his
intelligence while her efforts to protect her people
intrigues him. However, he learns that her past is an
enigma as rumors abound that she killed Robert. As Reyna
and Ian bond in love, someone plans a different unhappy
ending for this duo. Madeline Hunter continues to provide reader with some
of the best medieval romances on the market today. Her
latest tale, LORD OF A THOUSAND NIGHTS, is a strong story
containing two deep characters agonizing between love and
responsibility. The story line contains much of the
elements found in most sub-genre tales, but several twists
and turns keep the reader guessing as to what happens next
and who Reyna really is. The return of characters from the
Hunter pantheon of novels provide a myth like depth that
proves once again that when it comes to fourteenth century
romance, readers should hunt down novels by this
wonderfully skilled writer. Harriet Klausner

SummaryThey have absolutely nothing in common.
She is a Scottish widow, a scholar, and a virtuous woman
who
would die before she broke a promise or an oath.
He is an English mercenary, a sensualist, and a rogue
knight who can mesmerize women with his devastating smile.
When she becomes his war captive, they are thrown together
in a dangerous world full of mysteries, blood feuds, and
battles.
Dare she trust her life and her love to the man known as
the Lord of a Thousand Nights?
Called the Lord of a Thousand Nights, Ian of Guilford was
famed as much for his feats in the bedroom as on the
battlefield. But Lady Reyna Graham had no idea of this
when, disguised as a courtesan, she passed behind enemy
lines with a desperate plan to save her people. Now,
sitting in the tent of the dizzyingly handsome warrior who
commanded the army outside her gates, the beautiful widow
suddenly realized that she had underestimated her foe. For
she found herself in the company of a man whose charms were
said to be impossible to resist...and who shows no mercy in
laying siege to her heart--and body--with every sensual
weapon in his arsenal. For the sake of her people, she must
not give in...and she must somehow turn this legendary
lover who never lost his heart into a man who would
exchange all his thousand nights for one with her
