A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux
5.0
A beautiful story of honour and love that spans centuries. Nicholas is Dougless’ knight in shining armour. Her tears bring him to her, he hears her in his head.
In 1988 in England, Dougless shows Nicholas the modern world, initially believing he’s an actor or a man with amnesia. But, as they visit historical sites that were his homes in the sixteenth century, he tells her how things really were, and not how they’re portrayed on guided tours. He’s offended that his intelligence and architectural skills have been forgotten.
Dougless begins to believe he’s from the past, and their bond grows into love. Nicholas learns he was to be executed in 1564 due to being betrayed by someone, and their research uncovers who is at the root of it. Or so they think.
She doesn’t want him to go, and he decides to stay , but eventually, he is taken back. She’s devastated, since no trace of him is left behind. Except, a note he wrote to her. That allows her to go to his time, but he doesn’t remember her, or rather, doesn’t want to.
She’s learned there was more to his execution, and she wants to warn him about his soon-to-be wife, but he won’t listen. She manages to save Nicholas’ brother, and knows things she shouldn’t.
Again, they fall in love, and she agrees to stay, but he feels he must marry the woman who will betray him. This time, Dougless fades to the future, and again, grieves him.
They’ve managed to change history, but lost each other. However, he’s followed his promises to her, and he’s known in the present as a brilliant scholar and architect. The circle is complete when their two souls meet again.
Lots of fun with each of them discovering the other’s world, great drama with his execution threat, and sweet, deep love that binds them through time.
