Night Shadows (The Kingdom of the East Angles #0.5)
Jayne Castel
"It does not matter how much we distance ourselves, how far we run - the past always shadows us."
In the spring of 609 A.D., in the village of Went, a taciturn young man comes to ask for the hand of the ealdorman's daughter.
Wilfrid is intense, lacking in confidence, and in love with Cynewyn - a privileged young woman who has been promised to another. Spurned and humiliated, Wilfrid leaves the ealdorman's hall, never to return.
Ten years later, Cynewyn's life has not turned out as she had hoped. Her husband is dead, her village is under siege - and to make matters worse - she has just been told she, and the other villagers, have to abandon the village for their own safety.
Among the men escorting her and the surviving villagers back over the border is her former suitor - Wilfrid.
The past decade has been difficult for them both. Wil no longer believes in love, and Cynewyn no longer believes in happy endings. Yet neither are prepared for the passion that ignites between them, or its consequences...
Sensuality/heat level: SENSUAL (sweet - SENSUAL - sizzle)
