Romance | Historical
During the turbulent, decadent reign of William II, a royal mercenary finds himself caught in the throes of an unexpected passionβand played as a pawn in a treacherous game... The bastard son of a Norman nobleman, Robert Beaumont has blossomed into one of Englandβs fiercest killersβand has found himself well paid for his talents. But now the time has come for him to set aside his sword. The king has agreed to reward him for his last service with an estate...on one condition: Robert must marry the sitting tenantβthe infamous Lady Deformed. For years, Imogen Colebrook has lived in the ramshackle Saxon keep, the virtual prisoner of her cruel, sadistic brother, the man responsible for her deformityβand for wedding her to a dangerous man. Yet, on Robertβs arrival, Imogen nearly brings the hardened warrior to his knees. For she is a vision of unparalleled beautyβliving in a world without sight. Drawn to her courageous spirit, Robert gently draws Imogen out of her tortured past. But with her brother always lurking in the shadows, Imogenβs newfound sanctuary in Robertβs arms is in danger of being destroyedβunless her salvaged heart can find a way out of the darkness...
