Sir Rand Montague takes his allegiance to King Edward I
seriously; never wanting to say nay on any tasks given to
him until King Edward I orders Rand to escort Rosalyn
Harcourt to her future husband, Sir Golan. Resigned to
fulfill his duty and ignore his desire for Rosalyn, Rand
attempts to complete the task set before him by his King.
Rand remembers a fateful night years ago when Rand held the
beautiful Rosalyn in his arms, giving in to the heat and
endless passion they stir up. Rand must put aside his
feelings and deliver Rosalyn to another man's arms. All
plans change as Sir Golan takes advantage of his future
bride, putting Rosalyn in a dangerous situation and bringing
out Rand's protective nature for the woman he is determined
not to love. To keep Rosalyn from Sir Golan's clutches,
Rand proposes that Rosalyn marry Rand in name only which
satisfies both Rand's and Rosalyn future plans.
Fortunately, fate has other ideas.
Rosalyn Harcourt made a promise to herself after the death
of her first husband to never marry again. To Rosalyn's
dismay, King Edward I demands Rosalyn's presence at court
before she can make a vow to the church to secure her future
without a husband. King Edward I is rewarding one of his
knights, Sir Golan, with Rosalyn's hand in marriage and the
promise of all the land that comes with her, sealing
Rosalyn's fate once again. Sir Golan decides to take
advantage of his future bride by sampling what will be
rightfully his, only to find Sir Rand's fist in his face and
knowledge of a secret betrothal between Sir Rand and
Rosalyn. Rosalyn's decision to accept Rand's proposition
comes easily, especially since Rosalyn will do anything to
protect what is hers. Rosalyn's determination to deny the
attraction between herself and Rand will keep the promise
she made herself all the while protecting her heart and her
son.
VOW OF DECEPTION is the sequel to Vow of Seduction by
Angela Johnson. Johnson brings life to her historical
characters as they practically jump off the page with
passion, drama, and danger a plenty. This is historical
romance at its best!
