| Plot Summary of The Lion Triumphant |
"The Lion Triumphant is the second book written by Philippa Carr. It is the second of a series of books that chronicle the lives of the women of a certain family.
This story is about Catherine, the daughter of Damask and Bruno (from The Miracle at St. Bruno's). Catherine, known as Cat, went to stay with her adopted sister, Honey. While she was there, she met Jake Pennlyon. She hated him. He wanted her. He blackmailed her into agreeing to marry him. Shortly before the wedding was to take place, Cat, Honey, and Cat's maid were kidnapped and taken to Don Felipe, who wanted revenge on Jake. Cat found herself an unwilling pawn in Don Felipe's revenge. Then circumstances began to change, so did feelings. When Jake finally found Cat, their verbal battles were more fierce than ever. After they were married, Cat realized someone was trying to kill her. Was it the husband she had come to love, or did she have more enemies than even she realized?"
