In the resplendence of William the Conqueror's London court, the lovely Saxon captive, Nicholaa was forced to choose a husband from the assembled Norman nobles. She chose Royce, a baron warrior whose fierce demeanor could not conceal his chivalrous and tender heart. Resourceful, rebellious and utterly naive, Nicholaa vowed to bend Royce to her will, despite the whirlwind of feelings he aroused in her. Ferocious in battle, seasoned in passion, Royce was surprised by the depth of his emotion whenever he caressed his charming bride.
In a climate of utmost treachery, where Saxons still intrigued against their Norman invaders, Royce and Nicholaa revelled in their precious new love...a fervent bond soon to be disrupted by the call of blood, kin and country!

One of Garwood's early historical books, hard to put down, a great read.

Garwood has woven a wonderful romantic tale. She is the only writer that makes me want to call in sick and read (although I never have!) Royce and Nicholaa and a perfect match. I enjoyed reading about them falling in love and Justin's story, which was incredible.
This joins the others-- Saving Grace, The Secret and Honor's Splendour comes in as ultimate love stories. I am working my way through all Garwoods work and will be sad when there are no more to read.
