"Four Hearts!
During a shoot on location in Scotland, stuntwoman Catherine ‘Cat’ Terril runs into a Merlin look-alike who advises her to follow her heart. Feeling certain that she was to be a victim of a practical joke, Cat follows the lavender mist and ends up in the year 1230. Cat is immediately captured and told that either she is to pretend to be Brianna Mackay and marry some English lord or she would be killed.
Roderic de Montwain is not pleased at all to be ordered to marry Brianna but as his King orders so he obeys. Upon seeing Brianna for the first time though Roderic is struck by her beauty; that is until she demands to have her sword returned to her. Roderic comes to find that Brianna is definitely not your typical Lady, as she can ride like she is one with the horse but has no idea how to sew or cook. And she refuses to answer his questions as too why!
KNIGHT’S LEGACY by Ms. Sumter is a gem of a love story! As Cat gets to know Roderic she is willing to give up all she knows, all modern conveniences such as cell phones and microwaves just to remain by his side. There are difficulties as Cat has been raised in a time where women are a man’s equal and she goes back to a time where they are nothing more than property. However, Roderic is an honorable man who is very gentle and loving with his wife. He would stand out as a hero in any time period!
KNIGHT’S LEGACY will sweep the reader away to the Scottish Highlands where they will become immersed in the politics, beliefs and the cooking styles of the 1200’s. This reviewer has only one complaint about the tale and that was that a character’s name changed in middle of the story with no explanation. Other than that, Ms. Sumter has done such a wonderful job of drawing the reader into the story that when this reviewer’s cell phone rang there was a moment of total confusion trying to determine where and what that sound was. KNIGHT’S LEGACY comes very highly recommended for any reader who enjoys medieval or time travel romances. Get your copy today and you are sure to not be disappointed! "

KNIGHTS LEGACY
On location in Scotland for a film shoot, stuntwoman Cat Terril is waiting to film an action scene when she takes a stroll through the ancient castle that is their set.
Then she meets an old man in black robes who gives her a set of keys and directs her to….
“Follow your heart …”
Thinking it is a harmless prank designed by fellow stuntmen, Cat follows the old man’s direction to a locked door around which swirls a strange, lavender mist.
Using the set of keys, she opens the door, steps into the mist and falls, literally, into a frigid lake in thirteenth century Scotland.
There was no ‘harmless prank’ involved. Cat is in desperate peril, finding herself suddenly the hostage of vicious, brutal clan leader, Calum Mackay. To obtain clemency from the Scottish king, the renegade Mackay must give his daughter, Brianna, to Englishman Roderic de Montwain in marriage. Brianna, however, in love with another, has run away. And Cat bears a striking resemblance to Mackay’s absent daughter.
It is unbelievable enough to find herself in medieval Scotland. It is beyond comprehension to find herself abruptly married to a stranger. A stranger, moreover, who unlocks a passion and sensuality within her Cat never suspected she harbored. And Roderic, who has vowed to never lose his heart, finds himself falling for the mysterious, flame-haired bride he has taken to his bed. A bride some say is mad … and others claim is an imposter ….
