LOVE'S UNCONQUERABLE POWER

Young Constance was practically a slave, waiting to be taken at will by the cruel Sir Roger Foliot, lord of the village of Cuxham. But Sir Roger did not count on her ability to escape from him into the protection of priest, Oxford scholar, and sworn celibate, Rainulf Fairfax. Rainulf noticed Constance's intelligence as well as her beauty the first time they met. Once a soldier in the Crusades, Rainulf understood battle, but he didn't know anything about the war of passion that was about to erupt between them.

Drawn into a love that was forbidden, Constance desired the proud, honorable Rainulf not only as her teacher but as much more. Now they have a lesson to learn about love ... how unstoppable it is ... what it will cost them ... and what the priceless ecstasy of sharing a future -- forever -- can be.
