Lady of Conquest (Brides of Legend, #2)

Will he surrender his kingdom for a kiss? They call him Conn of the Hundred Battles, the warrior-king who forged a nation from a land of isolated clans. As High King of Ireland, he rides with the legendary Fianna, his elite band of warriors. But a threat to the throne looms from a mysterious enemy who has vanquished several of Conn's bravest warriors. Conn rides out alone to face a seemingly invincible foe, never dreaming he will find a grief-maddened hellcat with emerald eyes and hair like liquid flame... Wielding a sword called Vengeance, Gelina Ó Monaghan has sworn to defeat the man she holds responsible for her family's ruin. She never dreams she will be captured by him-and lose her heart in the bargain. Their forbidden passion will spark a private war fought with swords and kisses, promises and betrayal...until they discover the sweetest surrender of all in each other's arms.
