He was not the man she'd married!
The weary and battle-scared knight returning after seven long years was hailed by his people as Alaric, the new Lord of Penruthin Castle. His child bride, Eloise, had been left a virgin in her marriage bed, and now he saw that she had become a beautiful woman. But the estate, left in his corruptible brother's hands, had been bled dry. Only Alaric, as the eldest legitimate son, had the power to put things right. But Eloise, in her heart of hearts, could not believe that it was her husband who had returned....for she loved this stranger more than she could ever admit!
