From the beloved author of The Warlord and The Dark Knight, an
emotional, deeply passionate medieval romance
Married and widowed at a tender age, Princess Isabel Plantagenet
understands her duty: to wed a new husband chosen by her father for the
purpose of consolidating his power. Faulke Segrave, a rogue suspected of
high treason whose past wives died under mysterious circumstances, is
hardly suitor material, but his piercing blue eyes spark a fire in
Isabel that makes her feel oddly safe and deeply curious. Quite a pair
they will make, for she has dark secrets of her own that can never see
the light of day.
Faulke does not relish this arrangement any more than his bride does,
but he can't deny his attraction to this poised, beautiful woman whose
level gaze and strong command make him ache to have her. Her seduction
becomes his conquest, even as deception and murderous scheming draw
closer, threatening Faulke's life, his heritage, and his cherished wife.
