In this "delicious medieval love story," a noblewoman is forced to
honor a long-ago betrothal to a ruthless warrior--who is now her
family's bitter enemy (Romantic Times).
Lady Lilliane was betrothed to Corbett of Colchester at the age of
fourteen, long before their families became sworn enemies. Years later,
Corbett unexpectedly turns up to claim his beautiful bride and, by
contract, her valuable dowry: Castle Orrick. Suspecting some royal
intrigue lies behind Corbett's sudden desire for this marriage, Lilliane
vows she will never lie in his bed. But what fate awaits Lilliane--and
all England--if she resists him? And what darker fate if she
surrenders?
This "sensual romance set in 13th-century England" marked the
award-winning debut of this USA Today-bestselling author (Publishers
Weekly).
