Sons of de Lohr Books
***2024 HOLT MEDALLION FINALIST FOR HISTORICAL ROMANCE*** Welcome to the first book in the Sons of de Lohr series – Christopher de Lohr’s sons (Rise of the Defender) finally have their day. The Lion Cubs are about to take charge! Richard “Roi” de Lohr is the second son of Richard the Lionheart’s champion, Christopher de Lohr. Roi was raised in the finest homes and with the finest training. Emerging as a powerful and intelligent knight, he married the woman he wanted and enjoyed the life of prestige he had earned. When his wife gave birth to a son, Roi’s life was complete. Until tragedy struck. When Roi’s wife dies in childbirth with their second child, he is devastated. But he’s a de Lohr and de Lohrs don’t crumble. He raises his son alone, proud that the lad promises to take his place among the great de Lohrs. He even arranges a marriage for his son with the daughter of a prestigious lord, an heiress of great wealth. Everything is going as planned. But tragedy strikes again. Roi’s son is killed in a freak accident, leaving Roi shattered beyond repair. The prestigious lord, however, has no sympathy and demands that Roi fulfill the marriage contract or risk losing a strong alliance. With Roi’s son gone, that means Roi, a widower, must marry the young heiress he’s never even met. Lady Diara le Bec is that heiress. From one of the finest families in England, that prestige masked a problem - naturally vivacious and charming, Diara has earned herself a scandalous reputation that Roi wasn’t told about. He’s rather reserved by nature, serious and deliberate, and when he finds himself married to a woman who can light up an entire room with simply her smile, he’s taken aback. There are whispers of Diara’s flirtations and the men she has conquered. Roi suspects he has gotten himself into a miserable marriage. But that soon changes as he comes to know the lightning bolt known as Diara. Deedee. And so begins a love story for the ages. Treachery and deceit, it seems, aim directly for Roi and Diara as their relationship deepens. Join them as they navigate the turbulent waters of a romance that was never supposed to happen… and a joy that they could have never dreamt of. Lion of Twilight is part of the de Lohr Dynasty.

The heir to Lioncross Abbey Castle makes his presence known. Like all sons of de Lohr, Curtis de Lohr was born for war. As the firstborn son of the Earl of Hereford and Worcester, England’s greatest knight during the reign of Richard I, Curtis grew up knowing what was expected of him and he thrived through the pressure. But the pressure was kept buried and, with all pressure, at some point it’s got to give. With a reputation for being humorless, brutally honest, powerful, and fearless in battle, Curtis is the shining heir for the House of de Lohr. As the premier knight for Henry III, he performs flawlessly in every battle, every situation. When he is put to the test in Wales by laying siege to a castle that Henry wants very badly, the victory of that castle brings about a treaty of epic proportions – having a wife forced upon him in exchange for peace. That changes everything. Eira Avrielle “Elle” ferch Gwynwynwyn is a warrior woman in her own right. The daughter of the last ruler of Powys, she is a valuable commodity to the Welsh as well as to the English. She also happens to be a widow and since the death of her husband, she has fought in every battle against the English in his stead. That means she fought against Curtis in his quest to take her castle, something he wasn’t aware of. A woman of mystery, Elle carries many secrets that she keeps deeply buried. She has plans for her new husband. One thing she didn’t plan on was falling in love with him. And the feeling is very, very mutual. Join Curtis and Elle in a dangerous game of politics and passion during a time when the slightest swing of the pendulum could mean life or death. It’s an all-out battle within the House of de Lohr to keep Curtis out of danger… and to keep Elle by his side when her natural instincts dictate otherwise. Can their love survive the ghosts of her past? Or will those ghosts consume them both. Sometimes, the true enemy is within… Read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

What happens when a man has fallen for the wrong woman when the right woman comes along? Myles de Lohr is about to find out. Welcome to another epic Medieval Romance with the sons of Christopher de Lohr! As the humorless, sometimes taciturn middle de Lohr brother, Myles is all-knight, all-the-time. The man couldn’t crack a smile to save his life and something like romance is completely out of his wheelhouse. Love has never crossed his mind until he meets a woman who sweeps him off his feet. Or, so he thinks. Unfamiliar with the difference between love and lust, Myles is convinced he is in love with Lady Aviara, an epic flirt. Enter Myles’ cousin, Oliver de Grey. As the Earl of Ilchester, Oliver views Aviara as a prize and steals her out from under Myles’ nose. As Aviara becomes Lady Ilchester, Myles is convinced his life is over and he has lost everything. Until he meets Veronica de Wolviston. Veronica’s father was a much-sought-after cartographer and a vassal of Myles’ father, Christopher de Lohr. When Edgar de Wolviston passes away, he leaves a note asking Christopher to escort his daughter to her betrothed. With Myles in turmoil after losing the lady he lusted after, Christopher orders his muddled son to take Veronica north and deliver her to her betrothed, hoping the trip will clear his son’s head. Surely no two people in this history of the world have ever made more miserable traveling companions. And that is the start of an unexpected – but eye-opening – revelation for Myles when it comes to the bookish, brilliant Veronica. Join the star-crossed couple on a journey for the ages, where the understanding of friendship and love are something both of them must learn from one another, where loyalty and honor mean more than lust and instant gratification, and where the growth of true and deep love is something that comes from the very soul. None of that is more evident when Myles is unexpectedly presented with the choice between the woman he lusted after and Veronica. Then, he has an epiphany. It’s a decision that only his heart can make... when the heart of a lion is the biggest heart of all. Read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited!
