Lionel had never gotten along with his father, Sir Alex of Scotsbane. The man had spent all of Lionel's childhood making his son feel inadequate so as soon as Lionel could secure a position in Camelot he left, never intending to return. His departure meant that his younger sister, Fiona, would be alone with their father. He thought she would be safe for a few years. He was wrong. When his father's health began to fail a letter summoning him back to Scotsbane was delivered. Once home Lionel is told that he must choose a bride and get married or his father would force Fiona to marry and would leave the entire estate to her husband instead of Lionel. Lilith had wonderful daughter, a stubborn sense of pride and was fiercely independent. She did not want a husband, only a new start to life when Fiona left with her brother. She was everything that Lionel needed in a bride, he simply had to convince her that he was a better man than the one who loved her and left her pregnant to face the world alone. When the local priests join forces with Moira, Lionel's former lover, Lionel might lose everything if he cannot convince Lilith that he is a better man than he is accused of being. After a lifetime of being labeled a disappointment can Lionel finally measure up?

Autorenporträt
Born in Hardisty, Alberta M. Francis developed an undeniable love of reading at an early age. Homeschooled during her primary years, her mother not only taught the basics to her five children, but she also read to them at least twice a day. From Anne of Green Gables to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings the stories and the people behind them instilled a love of the written word. As soon as she could hold a pencil M. Francis began to write her own stories. Her first complete work was 'Monkey Millionaires' in which a pair of monkeys became millionaires by selling ice cream. While it was a huge hit amongst the kids in the neighborhood it was just the beginning. After discovering the TV show Spartacus, and full immersion into that fandom, M. Francis was disappointed to find there was very little fiction to satisfy her desire to indulge a love of Roman era romance. The spark was then lit to write the stories she wanted to read herself. From gladiators and the beauty of ancient Rome she has moved on to other book heroes, some ancient knights such as those in the beloved "Cast From Camelot" series and others of the racier, more contemporary type in the MC romance series "The Dukes of Hell." There is no hero archetype or "book boy-friend" she doesn't intend to bring to the page and to the hands of her loyal readers. Despite some eye-opening experiences (it's not as glamorous a profession as the movies would have you believe) she would not change her journey in the slightest. When she is not working or writing, M. Francis is a single parent to a little girl. Nothing makes her happier than when her daughter tells her that she wants to be a writer, "Just like you, Mommy." So, to keep inspiring a very special little girl, and to bring some elements of the romance of real life to some not-so-little girls, she is pleased to be writing as M. Francis Lamont and bring you "The Champion's Prize" the first of her nine volume centurion saga "The Champions" and many more stories to come from those series already established: The Dukes of Hell, Cast from Camelot, The Champions and Dirty Little Secrets, as well as new ones yet to be released. She encourages everyone to "Live with Passion. Live with Purpose. And most important of all, Never Lose. Welcome to the beginning of something wonderful.
