My Enemy, My Love

Lady Aline de Lacy is one of hundreds of people trapped between a chateau under siege and the French army’s camp in the midst of winter. If she survives, she yearns to return to her happy life as an earl’s daughter in England.

Sir Apollo de Norville, King Philip II’s messenger, prefers the freedom of the road to settling down with a wife and the responsibility of managing lands. But after he rescues an unconscious beauty from the cold and helps her recover from her ordeal, he’s commanded to marry her as a gesture of peace between their two countries.

Mutual attraction sparks, though neither wants to wed. Because he staunchly supports the French claim to the chateau, while she can't fathom being tied to or having children with someone who works for the king who attacked her and her family.

How do you live with, much less love, your enemy?
