In the resplendence of William the Conqueror’s London court, the lovely Saxon captive, Nicholaa was forced to choose a husband in the assembled Norman nobles. She decided Royce, a baron warrior whose brutal demeanor cannot conceal his chivalrous and tender heart. Resourceful, rebellious and utterly naive, Nicholaa vowed to flex Royce to her will, regardless of the whirlwind of emotions he aroused in her. Ferocious in fight, seasoned in interest, Royce was surprised by the depth of his feeling whenever he caressed his charming bride. Inside a climate of greatest treachery, where Saxons still intrigued against their Norman invaders, Royce and Nicholaa revelled in their valuable new love…a fervent connection soon to be disrupted by the decision of blood, kin and nation!
