Winter's Heat
Her time in a nunnery had taught Lady Rowena many things, but not how to be a wife to the powerful Lord who claimed her as his bride. Meeting him on their wedding day, her blue eyes defiantly locked with his, she vowed never to submit to this aloof, mysterious knight whose courtly charm barely concealed his ruthlessness.

His vast estates -- and his bed -- lacking a Lady, Rannulf, Lord of Graistan, knew this convent-raised beauty brought a dowry he couldn't refuse. But the heat ignited by her touch reminded him that he had been a woman's fool once and would never be again. After one night of sweet consummation, he planned to coldly leave her and ride off to war, ignoring the desire that turned his blood to flame...

But a tide of treachery was rising around them, mortal danger awaited them ... and their only hope lay in daring to trust, to cherish, and to love unconditionally.
