Gerard is shocked by his bride’s fiery, combative nature, but also determined to hold on to his rich prize. Not only does the marriage secure his hold on Tangwyl Castle, it elevates him to the status of baron, an unlikely honor for a man born a bastard. Gerard hopes to win over his hostile new wife with kindness and consideration, but Marared does not give in easily. Even as the attraction between them builds to shimmering passion, she stubbornly continues to plot to end the marriage. Gradually Marared comes to realize that Gerard is her love and her destiny, but it may be too late. Her scheming has entangled them both in deadly Welsh politics. Not only does it appear their marriage is doomed, but both their lives are in peril. It will take all of Marared’s cunning and courage, and Gerard’s stubborn determination and devotion, to defeat their enemies and find their way to happiness. less
