Plot Summary of Blade's Lady
"Anna Tarrant is hiding from her step-father who for seven years, in order to keep herself safe from his many attempts to try to kill her in order to gain her inheritance. Since she was a child, whenever Anna was in danger she reached out to her "knight", a fantasy in her mind-or so she thought. When her step-father's hired assasin finds her and Anna is badly injured, she 'calls' out one more time to her fantasy hero . . .

Ever since he was a teen-ager, former SAS agent Blade Lombard has had a re-occuring dream about a young girl who is in despeate danger. As the years go by, the girl became a woman and those dreams became more real and more sensual. Then, when he is awakened from another terrifying dream, he decides to investigate, and discovers that the dreams were all too real.

Now that Anna's step-father becomes more desparate for her death, Anna and Blade must work together to save her life, and to accept the magical connection that is between them."
