Synopsis

In a time of strife and treachery, an English nobleman dares to fall in love with the rebellious Welsh beauty he has captured in the name of king and country

Exiled to the wilds of northern Wales as part of King Henry I's shrewd efforts to suppress the power of England's noblemen, Randulf FitzHugh prepares for war. He and his army will build a fortress on the ramparts of Rosecliffe, then return to London in triumph.

Josselyn ap Carreg Du loathes the English conquerors who are ravaging her homeland. Yet the only way to vanquish the invaders is to unite her people against them by wedding a cruel Welsh warmonger she despises even more. But when the seductive English noble who leads the assault against the Welsh turns the tables by taking her prisoner, Josselyn becomes a pawn in a political power struggle that can have no true victor.

As hate flames into unexpected desire, uniting two bitterly divided enemies, Josselyn and Rand must battle a far more formidable adversary: their traitorous hearts.

Contains mature themes.

Meh. The first and only book I'll probably read by this author. The plot dragged. Tension between the two lovers was borderline abusive. Didn't care for either of the main characters.......more
