Darkly handsome and sensual, Lord Brand Risande-known
as "The Passionate"-is temptation incarnate. But his
prowess on the battlefield and in the bedchamber hides a
bitter secret: the betrayal that has sealed his heart. Now
as this most feared warrior rides out to possess the lands
he has won in war, he engages his most formidable enemy
ever.
AND ONE WOMAN'S DESTINY.
Lady Brynnafar Dumont is prepared to do anything to
protect her people-even seduce the savage Norman knight
who defeated her father. Prepared to face down a cold-
blooded beast, she instead confronts a wickedly attractive
scoundrel who wants nothing to do with her. It's enough to
sting a lady's pride…and strengthen her resolve. Innocent
as she is, now she must use all her charms to defeat Lord
Brand in the only battle worth fighting-the one for his
love.
