The Conqueror
Formerly The Kinds of Wanting
England, 1252
After seventeen years of a civil war, things are about to change.
Reluctant hero Griffyn ‘Pagan’ Sauvage is single-minded in pursuit of his mission: overthrow England. He has vowed to reclaim his beloved home, lost seventeen years ago in a coup of the English crown, and wreak his vengeance upon the man who stole it, John del’Ami.
He veers from his quest only once, to rescue a brave and beautiful woman from a midnight abduction.
Guinevere de l’Ami, countess of Everoot since her father died two weeks ago, is equally committed to only one thing: redemption.
One fateful night changes everything. A midnight rescue on the king’s highway results in a single night of unforgettable passion, making them risk everything for the despair-defying connection neither ever hoped tofind.
Their explosive reunion, a year later, follows betrayal and a bloody invasion.
Now cold vows of revenge, the lure of buried treasure, and the deadly enemy closing in threaten a love that could unite a realm, or bring it crashing to the ground.

Wendy the SuperLibrarian
"If you’re an old-school romance fan, especially one who adores medievals? Yeah, just stop reading my review right now, run out and buy The Conqueror by Kris Kennedy. It has everything you’ll want, and more (!), all for the bargain basement price of $3.99. … It’s easy to see why this book finaled for RWA’s Golden Heart award. It’s really a very accomplished debut novel, and fans of medievals should just beat the Christmas rush and start rejoicing now."
