THE HEART OF THE PHOENIX by Barbara Bettis

​I won’t give you any spoilers but I have read this book and given it a five star review.
Evelynn is a worthy heroine and I fell hopelessly in love with Stephen.
Barbara Bettis does an amazing job bringing the reader along on this couple's journey as they discover danger, secrets and love.

Some call him a ruthless mercenary; she calls him the knight of her heart

​Lady Evelynn’s childhood hero is home—bitter, hard, tempting as sin. And haunted by secrets. When Evie offers friendship, Sir Stephen's cruel rejection crushes her, and she resolves to forget him. Yet when an unexpected war throws them together, she finds love isn’t so easy to dismiss. If only the king hadn’t betrothed her to another.
Sir Stephen lives a double life while he seeks the treacherous outlaws who murdered his friends. Driven by revenge, he thinks his heart is closed to love. His childhood shadow, Lady Evie, unexpectedly challenges that belief. He rebuffs her, but he can’t forget her, although he knows she’s to wed the king’s favorite.                                                                               
When his drive for vengeance leads to Evie’s kidnapping, Stephen must choose between retribution and the love he’s denied too long. Surely King John will see reason. Convict the murderers; convince the king. Simple. Until a startling revelation threatens everything.
