At fifteen Lady Amiranth St. Clare became the bride of
Tristan Geraint. She thought all of her dreams had come true
— until she learned on her wedding day that Tristan had
married her only for her bloodline.
A week later Tristan deserted her for the glories of battle.
Heartbroken, Amiranth felt she'd been abandoned, not knowing
that Tristan had become a prisoner of war — nor that he
would one day return to the life he didn't know he wanted
until it was taken away.
Eight long years pass before Tristan finally comes home. A
beautiful woman greets him in the garden, claiming to be
Amiranth's cousin. Yet somehow she seems hauntingly
familiar, with an ethereal radiance that stirs him deep
within his heart. Is she really his wife, grown into a lady
of breathtaking beauty — or another woman who has awakened
within him a passion he has never known?
To discover the truth, Tristan must reveal the secrets of
what happened those years he was away — and find the love
that was closer than he ever imagined....
