Played out against the seething rivalry between Inquisition-torn Spain and Elizabethan England, The Lion Triumphant traces the linked fates of strong-willed Catherine Farland and Captain Jake Pennlyon Called 'The Lion,' Captain Jake Pennlyon is a fearsome and virile plunderer who takes what he wants, and his sights are set on Catherine Farland. Blackmailed into wedlock and haunted by memories of the gentle boy she was forbidden to wed, Cat vows to escape. Fate intervenes when she's taken prisoner aboard a Spanish galleon . . . unaware that she's a pawn in one man's long-awaited revenge. Beginning as Elizabeth takes the throne of England, and spanning the years until the legendary defeat of the Spanish Armada, The Lion Triumphant follows Cat's journey from the thrill of a first passion to the ferocity of a mother's love. Despite the twists of history, her fortunes'and her heart'will remain tied to one seductive buccaneer.
