Legendary English knight de Vessey is entranced by the
golden voice of a beautiful singer entertaining the
guests. Standing in for his liege lord at a nobleman's
great hall, he can't take his eyes off her. Who is this
angel who melts his sadness with song, filling the proud,
haunted knight with warmth and a tender longing he never
thought to experience again? The inviting look she gives
him is too tempting to resist. And so he falls. . .
The Wrong Man
At last Briar will have her vengeance on the man
responsible for her family's ruin! Though unschooled in
the ways of seduction, she will steal the handsome
blackguard's heart, thus destroying his sworn affections
for another. But after a night of intense passion, she
discovers de Vessey is merely the emissary of her enemy.
And now that she has known ecstasy in his arms -- and
awakened both the gentleness and fire within him -- it is
Briar who is undone, torn between her aching hunger for
justice. . . and her all-consuming desire for a love that
must not be!
