The Men of Blood Series
By the blood of The Cross, by the hand of God’s chosen, we will defend the Holy Church...
The Blood & the Bloom - Book One
1410 A.D.
A man of honor, Sir Tristin LaDeux is the fearless and fierce captain of the Homme du Sang, a chivalric order, called to defend The Church and enforce its edicts. Known throughout Europe for his dedication to his cause, Tristin thinks nothing of embarking on a mission to arrest one common woman, suspected of witchcraft, and bring her to justice.
Practical, intelligent, and beautiful, Bell Heather Caire is determined to make her own way in life, using her skills and knowledge as the village apothecary. She spends her days making salves and powders, worrying not for the ways and means of men—especially the selfish, depraved Willem Mason, a man as determined to have her as she is to be left alone.
When Tristin finds Bell Heather bathing in a waterfall, he is immediately enchanted, but when he discovers that she is the witch he’s been ordered to arrest, everything within him revolts. His head tells him to follow orders, but his heart and his body crave the lush little wench with dirt beneath her nails and light in her soul.
As Tristin gives in to his desire for Bell Heather, she realizes she wants more than just herbs and solitude—she wants Tristin and the fire he ignites in her blood.
But can these two have what they want most when the very thing Tristin believes in is trying to destroy him? And does Bell Heather have a chance against an evil man willing to risk everything to break her? Can the man of blood and the lovely bloom find a place for themselves in a world ready to tear them apart?

1414 A.D.
Sir Elric Gadot is a skilled swordsman, a womanizer, and…a murderer. After a terrible decision cost the life of his brother, he flees the only home he’s ever known to fight beside men as broken and bloody as he is. And he finds new brothers in the Homme du Sang.
Now the new commander of a group of brave and brutal knights, Elric is given an order he cannot disobey; escort the cardinal’s beautiful and fiery niece north, into enemy territory, to her betrothed.
Unfortunately for him, the woman has other plans.
Minnette Calleaux didn’t cross an ocean to be sold off to some weak-chinned lord in the middle of the wilderness. Desperate to make a life for herself in this new land, she attempts to escape her escort—and their devastatingly handsome commander. But her plans go awry, leaving her in the arms and keeping of a man who can seduce her with his golden gaze and wicked words.
Betrayed by those in power, and hunted from the shadows by a man bent on a holy mission, Elric and Minnette must battle the elements and their own passions. Because if they cannot win against their greatest enemy, it is more than just their lives at stake.
