Lady Jenova of Gunlinghorn feels she should marry, though
not for love, for she vows never to entrust her heart to a
man again. Then Lord Henry, her charming and devilishly
handsome friend, arrives to offer his opinion on the
chosen bridegroom. But when they are trapped together by a
winter storm, she and Henry wildly succumb to a desire
they neither anticipated nor welcomed. And suddenly Jenova
must rethink her matrimonial plans.
An Unforeseen Betrothal
It was a momentary madness — and Henry cannot let one
indiscretion destroy a cherished friendship! Still, the
fire lit by a passionate kiss will not be extinguished,
and Henry aches to taste Jenova's sweetness again and
again. The only proper course is to marry her himself,
though it will surely cost him his honored position at the
royal court. But more importantly, how can two who share
no faith in romance trust their hearts to something as
perilous and unpredictable as love?
