From the cover:

An orphan since the age of five, eighteen-year-old Iliani has led a sheltered life at Lourds Keep, under the guardianship of her father's old friend Edouard. Iliani sees her future in her marriage to Edouard's son, certain it would be her father's wish. But her wedding day is interrupted by an uninvited guest: Alaex the Destroyer, a fearsome warrior who brings the news that Iliani is already wed - to him, in a secret ceremony arranged by her father many years ago. Now Alaex has come to take Iliani - against her wishes - to her childhood home of Fontwyn Hall... and make her his wife.

Alaex felt it his duty to honor the marriage arranged by his former mentor, but he is ill-prepared for the passion Iliani stirs deep within him. And he begins to hop that perhaps ILiani can cast light into the shadows of his treacherous past. But the past also haunts Iliani, who must sort suspicion about her new husband from the voice in her heart ... which wispers the promise of an overwhelming, everlasting love.
