In 1147, Queen Eleanor and King Louis VII traverse to Jerusalem for the Second Crusade. Along with her fancy bedding and wine, the wily, young queen brings five lovely and talented women - spies identified by a signature garden scent. Among them is the beautiful widow Isabella, aka Violet, whose duty is to infiltrate Emperor Manuel's inner circle and skillfully extract information. Will he aid the queen's cousin or betray the alliance for one with the Turks? To find out Isabella must woo the emperor's man, Raoul, whose soul is as black as his eyes. His passion both terrifies and captivates her.
Book 2 - Peony
After escaping a deadly encounter, Lady Catherine, is welcomed into the ranks of Queen Eleanor's guard. As the French army makes its way through Asia Minor, with King Louis determined to recapture Edessa, Catherine has a goal of her own: to seek absolution from a deadly secret in Jerusalem. But soon she's fighting her feelings for Louis' trusted friend Lord Payen, a man who's been asked to infiltrate the guard and listen for dissent.
Payen's past has taught him that beauty makes a man weak, and he does his best to ignore the carnal attraction he feels toward Catherine.
Book 3 - Rose
On a holy pilgrimage to seize the city of Edessa, Mamille, one of three female bodyguards remaining to protect Queen Eleanor of France has been unable to quell her attraction to the handsome and virile Dominus Brochard.
Sworn to be chaste, the Knight Templar has travelled with Eleanor's guard since the very beginning; however, he's been working undercover on behalf of the bishop. Believing Mamille is far too beautiful to sleep alone, Dominus is frustrated by not being able to claim her for himself. Instead, he watches over her from afar and takes out his jealousy on the enemy Turks.
But someone else who is watching both of them. Someone with enough power and influence to tear the king and queen apart and wrest Mamille and Dominus away from each other forever.
