Nine years ago, Alexandre de Perigeaux fell in love with a young woman. But the woman he loved betrayed him and married his cousin. Alex vowed he would never form that kind of heartbreaking attachment again. He is called the Lone Wolf-and it is a title that suits Alex. He is content serving his king and has no intentions of settling down. Then the woman from his past appears in his life again. When her husband beseeches him to do the unspeakable, Alex is faced with the most difficult decision of his life. Nicolette de St. Clair is married to her husband in name only. Sickness has stolen his health as well as any chance she might have to bear a child. That in itself is tragic enough, but if Nicki does not produce an heir soon she will lose her home. She rejects her husband's suggestion to bear another man's child. No matter how desperate her situation, Nicki cannot forget she is a married woman. Time and circumstance may have torn them apart, but Alex and Nicki's love has not faded. Patricia Ryan once again weaves a magical spell in a passionate tale of lost love. Wild Wind is a thoroughly engaging medieval novel with a unique story line that keeps the pages turning. Ms. Ryan's love for history is obvious in her careful attention to detail. With the skill of an artist, she brings her enchanting characters to life. Readers will remember Alex from Secret Thunder as Luke de Perigeaux's younger brother. It was a pleasure to see Alex's story told so well! A definite must read for fans of medieval romance! Patricia Ryan's writing sparkles! Wild Wind is a wildly romantic love story from an incredibly gifted author! Readers will fall in love with this wonderful tale! Few authors can bring the past to life as vividly as Patricia Ryan.

Excellent follow up story to Secret Thunder. It was full of suspense, drama, and hero's. it was well written and enjoyable.

Review by: Elfwreck on Dec. 11, 2010 :
Sequel, of a sort, to "Secret Thunder" (they stand alone fine, but hints of that one are included here). Compelling characters; I want whole novels about all of their stories. Delicious erotic scenes and wonderful tension-building.
