Once Upon a Kiss: A Medieval Romance

She came to wed his brother… and stole the Dragon’s heart.

The novel that launched Avon’s Romantic Treasures line, winner of RT’s K.I.S.S. Award, and a Historical Romance of the Year nominee.

To end a bitter medieval feud, Dominique Beauchamp agrees to a political marriage with the lord of Drakewich. Duty demands obedience, but from the moment she rides through the castle gates, she feels a dangerous pull she cannot ignore—not toward her betrothed, but toward his brother, the feared and legendary Black Dragon.

Blaec d’Lucy has sworn unwavering loyalty to his brother and to his house. Hardened by war and betrayal, he trusts no one—least of all a woman whose beauty could be a weapon. Yet Dominique’s courage and quiet strength unravel his defenses, turning suspicion into longing and restraint into torment.

Bound by honor, divided by blood, and drawn together by an undeniable passion, Blaec and Dominique risk everything for a love forbidden by oath and law. As war threatens and old betrayals resurface, their stolen moments may ignite more than desire—they may decide the fate of Drakewich itself.

A sweeping medieval historical romance of forbidden love, fierce loyalty, and heart-stopping passion, this is a timeless tale of two souls bound forever… once upon a kiss.
