Merry DuBoise is about to burn for heresy when Luke le Noir, captain of the
royal army, whisks her from the flames. Under the protective banner of the king,
Luke shields her from persecution, but he is helpless to defend himself from her
charms. The fire-haired beauty tutors Luke in the art of compassion. She
challenges him to defy his king by showing mercy. Bit by bit, her rebel spirit
pervades his disciplined soul, until at last he throws caution to the wind and
claims her body in single-minded passion. Honor then demands that he wed her.
While their passion is certain, their future is unsure. The king, having
other plans for Luke, intends to rid him of his bride. Luke must choose between
love that will last a lifetime or ambition that will earn him unparalleled
power.
"A Perfect 10. Enjoyable from the first word, BY
STARLIGHT captured my attention and never let it go until the very end.
Danger, passion, and laughter make BY STARLIGHT an extraordinary romance. Ms.
Moon is a creative author, and I certainly hope she continues writing romance
novels in the same captivating style as BY STARLIGHT."
- Catherine McHenry, Romance Reviews Today
"Medieval romance readers will take pleasure from this
exciting tale..." Marliss Moon has written a fine sequel to her charming DANGER'S PROMISE...- Harriet Klausner

can set up a terrific premise for an interesting tale."
