Faith's Keys (The ChristKeepers #2)

Battle weary Medieval Scottish Laird Ian MacAllister is adept at every skill needed for murder and mayhem. A fierce warrior he’s won more tournaments than any other knight in Christendom. As a Crusader he brought back treasure untold from the Holy Lands. As an epic sinner he’d wooed and won the hearts and bodies of many a fair maid. His exploits are the stuff of troubadours’ heroic songs.

Now as a new Christian he only seeks blessed peace. Peace, forgiveness, and a quiet simple life. All of which seem just out of his grasp.

Faith of Sulksbury is the innocent baseborn daughter of a rich Abbot. Her life has been spent seeking to heal the wounds of others while she suffers her own hurts in silence. Scorned for her low birth, poor circumstances, and accused of sorcery she struggles to make her lonely way in the world.
But she has one thing Ian wants. His son. Kidnapped as a baby and given to Faith, Pax is the heir to the vast estate of Clan MacAllister. The lad is all she has. Pax is all Ian wants.

The Laird and the lowly village maiden are set against each other as soon as they meet. Neither their common love for the child nor their deepening attraction to each other can ever span the deep chasm between them.

Both of them are broken. Both of them are more than they seem. Both of them have secrets. Both of them need ‘Faith’s Keys’.
