Johanna Lindsey’s Shefford’s Knights is a two-book series set in a medieval world of knights and nobility. The first book, Defy Not the Heart, was published in 1989. A full decade passed before Joining followed in 1999, returning readers to the same setting and characters.

Because the second book picks up threads from the first, reading them in publication order gives the best experience. Both novels are fairly typical of Lindsey’s historical romance style, placing strong-willed characters in period settings with plenty of romantic tension.
