This series is not new by any means, but it is now available in kindle at a very affordable price. Besides, if you haven't read it, it's new to you. Denise Domning is an expert in the Middle Ages. She was successfully published in medieval romance with large publishers when I was struggling with my first book. She inspired me to write gritty characters, and to do exacting research. She was a medievalist even before she wrote her first novel. Here is an overview of her Graistan Chronicles series:
The Graistan Chronicles, 1194-1197 (sometimes known as the Seasons series)
The Graistan Chronicles, 1194-1197 (sometimes known as the Seasons series)
WINTER'S HEAT: Winter’s Heat - A powerful baron forced to marry for want of an heir. A woman's expectation to rule an abbey torn from her. Now, a tide of treachery rises around them and their only hope is to trust, to cherish and to love unconditionally.

A LOVE FOR ALL SEASONS A Love for All Seasons
From Library Journal: Summoned home from her convent refuge by her greedy, vindictive husband, Johanna of Stanrudde is stunned to find her town starving, herself accused of adultery, and her husband plotting the destruction of the only man she's ever loved. Strong, vivid writing and compelling characters quickly pull readers into the harsh reality of 12th-century Britain, and a multilayered plot and well-handled sexual tension keep them entranced. In the fifth and final volume of her "Seasons" series, Domning (Autumn's Flame, Topaz, 1995) uses dual time periods in alternating (and somewhat confusing) chapters to provide a well-researched, intensely sensual story of the medieval merchant class that nicely completes the set. Domning lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.
