-
What happens when war makes an enemy of the woman you have vowed to protect?
Gefroi d'Umfraville vowed to protect his dead friend's wife, Lady Aliss Bertram. A woman he has secretly loved for years. But protecting his prisoner is no easy feat especially when she believes that he killed her husband. Gefroi must convince her to trust him but Aliss is not a woman who is easily convinced.
When Lady Aliss Bertram wakes from an injury she received on the battlefield she discovers that she is held prisoner by the very enemy she vowed to destroy. To ensure her safety she is forced to do the unthinkable--marry Gefroi d'Umfraville, the man who not only holds her prisoner but is also responsible for her husband's death.
Unable to deny her growing awareness of Gefroi Aliss must not only learn to trust him but she must also face her own fears.
Twelfth-century Northumbria is the backdrop to this compelling historical romance where love, loyalty, and political intrigue abound.
