For years she had thought he was dead. Yet when Addis de
Valence strode into Moira Falkner's cottage, there was no
mistaking the sharp planes of his face, and the scar she
herself had helped to heal. The young squire who had once
been her hero was now her lord, a hardened man who
returned to claim the son she had raised as her own. But
Moira couldn't deny that Addis roused a passion she never
thought to feel--and a perilous hope for a future that
could never be....
An Uncommon Love
Addis returned from the Crusades to find his lands usurped
by his stepbrother, and his country on the brink of
rebellion. Determined to reclaim his birthright, Addis
could not afford to be distracted by a woman--even one as
tempting as Moira. Yet the only living part of his
contented past lay in Moira--and his desire for her was
more dangerous than his deadly battles with the king's
men. By law, Moira belonged to him...but possessing her
heart might be far more difficult.
