In the shadowed stronghold of Eboncourt, Lady Elizabeth de Montclair faces the ruin of everything her father died to protect. Besieged by political pressure and military threats, Elizabeth refuses to surrender her lands-or her independence-to the whims of kings or suitors. But when a disgraced knight arrives under orders from the Empress, bringing more secrets than answers, her careful grip on power begins to slip. Sir Isaac de Rossi is no stranger to betrayal. Haunted by his past and carrying the weight of a war he helped prolong, he enters Elizabeth's court as both protector and potential threat. His loyalty is questioned, his intentions unclear, yet something deeper-something dangerously human-begins to stir between them. As a spy moves within the castle walls and enemies gather at the gates, Elizabeth and Isaac must navigate a web of lies, loyalty, and longing. Trust is a weapon as sharp as any blade, and in a world where every alliance has a cost, the greatest risk of all may be opening their hearts. Set against the backdrop of war, espionage, and forbidden desire, A Sword Between Us is a sweeping historical romance where strength and vulnerability collide-and where survival may depend on choosing love in a world built on betrayal.
