Johanna Lindsey's new book, When Passion Rules is coming out June 14, 2011. There's no cover yet but here is the synopsis from Fantastic Fiction;
Assassin Leonard Kastner agrees to commit an abhorrent crime for an astronomical sum - kill the infant heir to the European kingdom of Lubinia. Just as he is about to carry out the heinous deed, the baby awakens.and smiles at him. Losing his heart to tiny Alana Stindal, Leonard sweeps her out of their homeland to safety in England where he conceals her true identity from her and gives her an education fit for a queen. Eighteen years later, when the king of Lubinia faces a revolt because he has not produced another legitimate heir, Leonard knows he must take Alana home to prevent a civil war. But at the Lubinian palace no one believes Alana is the missing princess. Christoph Becker, the captain of the palace guards, arrests Alana because he suspects she is a pretender or a seductive assassin. When the king recognizes Alana as his long-lost daughter he proudly betroths her to the one man he believes is capable of protecting her and eliminating the shadowy figures who are determined to destroy his dynasty - Christoph Becker.
I am happy that Lindsey has written a book that is not about the Malory's. Although that is one of my favourite series, the last couple of books have lacked that old Lindsey spark. Now if only Johanna Lindsey would return to the Viking era and the Hardraad family - there are still two brothers with stories untold.

Thank you so much for the synopsis, I was having troubles finding one before this. I agree the Viking books are some of my favorite. And though I love the Malory books, the last one wasn't actually about a Malory. I'm sure I'll be reading it twice regardless.
I know, it seems like the more Malory books we get the less we see an actual Malory. Soon it will be a "Malory" book that is about James' old friend's wife's sister's cousin!
