Summer's Storm

NEITHER SWORDS NOR BETRAYAL COULD STOP THEIR FORBIDDEN LOVE

Lady Phillipa of Lindhurst had been a prisoner in her husband's castle since her arrival there as a child bride. His current absence gave her a respite from his cruelty and a chance to venture beyond the castle's iron gates. But her dread of returning paled in comparison to her terror of the handsome knight who suddenly rode his charger across field and fen and into her life.

For Temric, knight-errant and a powerful lord's bastard son, the sight of Phillipa's beauty awakened both a wrenching anguish and overwhelming desire. Long had he dreamed of her, tormented by the knowledge she should have been his wife. It took but one kiss, and she understood that he had come to her rescue unbidden. She would go with him unafraid.

Just as fate made them lovers, the world made them outcasts. Condemned by king and kin and betrayed by those they trusted, Phillipa and Temric would not be parted. If they were caught their lives would be forfeit. But one path remained: the way of true love and a plan so perilous it could bring death -- or their most glorious dreams.
