Rogue's Salute (Masters At Arms) - Tapa blanda

Juliette Armant, called home from the convent mere weeks before taking her vows as a nun, is in dire need of a strong husband. She prays for intervention from the holy mother in finding one, and is astounded when presented with the notorious swordsman, Nicholas Pasquale.

Nicholas was reared on the streets of Rome as the bastard son of an English nobleman before coming to New Orleans. Misplaced compassion has caused him to acquire a houseful of street boys who desperately need a home and a mother’s care; a wife seems the sensible solution. To propose marriage to a lovely stranger is no different from making life and death decisions between breaths on the dueling field.

Juliette never dreams such a practical arrangement would explode with heady desire when a rogue's kiss unleashes the sensual woman within. But someone determined to stop the wedding is willing to go to desperate lengths to claim the ancestral marriage chest Juliette will inherit, plunging Juliette into a fight to claim a legacy and a love worth any price.
