About this eBook

A warrior and a Saxon woman find an unexpected love in this riveting historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

In the resplendence of William the Conqueror’s London court, the lovely Saxon captive, Nicholaa is forced to choose a husband from the assembled Norman nobles. She chooses Royce, a baron warrior whose fierce demeanor can not conceal his chivalrous and tender heart. Resourceful, rebellious and utterly naive, Nicholaa vows to bend Royce to her will, despite the whirlwind of feelings he arouses in her. Ferocious in battle, seasoned in passion, Royce is surprised by the depth of his emotions whenever he caresses his charming bride.

In a climate of utmost treachery, Royce and Nicholaa revel in their precious new love—a fervent bond soon to be disrupted by the call of blood, kin and country....

Ratings and reviews

Love this book! I read it many years ago and love to reread it - so much so, I bought the ebook.😂 Nicholaa is innovative and fierce. But also observant. She sees the heart Royse tries to hide. Together they're amazing. She would have made a fierce warrior if women were allowed to be warriors in this time period.

Well written, good flow, great characters. Very entertaining and engaging, no dull moments, nor useless multiplication of words. First time reading this author, I am going to be looking for more of her books!

I love this book! It made me laugh out loud. I loved all the characters! Even the bad guys. I loved the passion in it too. I will read this book again and again. Thanks for writing. You continue to write great historical romances. I am never disappointed.
