My heart goes to Lady Catherine who after years of a violent marriage has to learn that not all men are the same.
William has to master his patience side as good things come to those who wait.
I enjoyed reading how they both dealt with the ups and downs of their relationship.
I would recommend reading Knight of Desire to anyone who loves historical and I look forward to reading the second book in the series.
