Turning his back on his old life as a rogue, Gavriel de
Marqueda has joined a monastic order in Spain and taken a
vow of chastity. Before he becomes a monk, he must pass one
final test: help a woman who has lost her way. But when he
lays eyes on Ada of Keyworth, he is tempted beyond measure
by her sultry beauty and dangerous curves. Far from her home
in England, Ada has been battling inner demons for more than
a year. When she discovers that her only friend has
abandoned her, she has no choice but to grudgingly accept
Gavriel's help. But Ada is not fooled. Though Gavriel wears
the robes of a monk, Ada sees that he is a virile man who
looks at her with a hunger that matches her own - one that
begs to be satisfied again and again.
