	CHALLENGE TO HONOR - First Book in the MASTERS AT ARMS SERIES Now In Stores Harlequin/Mira Books ISBN: 0-7783-2170-3 In old New Orleans, the sword masters, teachers of sword play to the French Creole elite, were dangerous men. Most dangerous of all was Rio de Silva, known as the Silver Shadow for his swift moves on the dueling field and ability to ghost in and out of bedchambers. When Celina Vallier’s brother challenges Rio de Silva to a duel, she knows it means certain death—unless she can offer the Silver Shadow something more desirable… Honor and revenge are the twin forces which drive Rio de Silva. To convince Celina that her plea for her brother is useless, he offers leniency on the dueling field in exchange for her virtue. When she accepts, he is stunned. This lovely woman, betrothed to his enemy, should never have agreed—unless she has reasons of her own… “With its lush backdrop and impeccable research, the first in Blake’s new series evokes everything alluring about New Orleans. She brings the bayous and the mansions, the foggy mornings and heated evenings to life, along with her vibrant characters. Fascinating and little-known historical details add just the right amount of depth.” ~Romantic Times “…a richly detailed portrait of life in Louisiana during the mid-nineteenth century. The main characters come alive under the artistic stroke of this gifted author’s pen. With a hero worthy our dreams and a heroine women can relate to, this new masterpiece is a boon to Blake fans everywhere.
