Two lives entwined are now in danger of being torn apart. When historian Alixandra Evans traveled back in time to twelfth-century France, she never expected to fall in love with Richard the Lionheart, the legendary king of England.

Becoming his confidante and lover, she witnessed his rise to power. Now Richard must marry a Spanish princess to ensure the protection of his realm.

Alix can’t bear the thought of becoming ‘the other woman’. To protect her heart she decides to return to the twenty-first century.

After spending months preparing for his crusade, Richard and his sister will journey to the Holy Land. Their mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, asks Alix to travel with them to help keep her daughter safe.

If he can reclaim Jerusalem for Christianity, his legacy will stretch across Europe and beyond. Prepared to face the dangers of war and hostile enemies, he never expects Alix, the woman he truly loves, to end their relationship.

Haunted by treachery and betrayal, will Richard realize his dream or lose both the war and the woman he loves? Alix would give anything to remain with him, but can she put aside her modern-day principles and stay or will she decide to leave him in the past?. .
