Guy de Maci's son disappears
during England's bloody civil war. Guy follows his son’s
trail to Stonewold Castle, becoming the bodyguard of
Stonewold’s heir. Guy uses the child as a cover to search
for his missing son, but guarding the boy hampers rather
than helps Guy's efforts. He is soon entangled in not only
the boy’s life but also that of the child's sister, the
rebellious and utterly captivating Lady Joia.
Lady Joia, betrothed to a man she despises, tries to enlist
Guy in her plots to free herself from marriage. All of Guy’s
warrior skills are useless when it comes to resisting Lady
Joia. But should he? Or should he succumb to the passion
shimmering between them and learn the true meaning of love
before they are separated forever?
