For a short story (MAYBE novella), Cole does a wonderful job setting the scene for this medieval romance featuring a black woman and a white Scottish Highlander.

Agnes Moor was taken in by King James IV's court as an 'exotic' and while she finds the court friendly than most, she lives with daily reminders she is other. During a tournament, the King decides a kiss from Agnes shall be the prize for the victor and one knight seems determined to win the favor.

When the "Wild Knight" emerges victorious, it turns out he is actually the Laird of a Scottish clan and someone with whom Agnes shared a charged encounter a while back. Someone who is here for far more than a kiss.

Super fun, super sexy story. I only wish there was more to it.
