Synopsis

After too many years on the battlefield, Merrick de Beaucourt is looking forward to a simple life of peace and quiet with a docile wife at his side. But when he finally fetches his bride-to-be from a secluded English convent, he finds he needs more than his knight's spurs to bring order to his life.

When betrothed at fifteen to the legendary English knight she had never met, Lady Clio of Camrose believed that love was something magical. But her youthful hopes faded as she languished in a convent for six long years, never hearing a word from Merrick.

Weary of war, Lord Merrick finds little peace guarding the wild Welsh borders, and even less with the wife whose trust he destroyed. But as Lady Clio comes to understand the dark knight she so blindly wed, she sees a chance to make her dreams come true.

Amidst the enchanted mists that envelop Camrose Castle, they will battle together to discover a place where all things are possible, even a love that is rare and wonderful.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Jilly

That was a surprise. I was thinking I was going to hate the male in the book, but ended up hating the female instead. Well, just so long as there was someone to hate, I'm happy. You and me both, Grumpy Cat. Have I mentioned that I hate cats? So, we have Garrett, who is a knight in these medieval times......more

Goodreads review by Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~

I'm sad to say that I didn't enjoy this as much as I'd hoped. It wasn't a bad story, and it was even fun at times, but I did have some issues that I couldn't ignore after a while. The characters and their personalities began to bore me halfway through. They never really developed, and their relations......more
