BLURB: Brighit MacNaughton is an obedient daughter following her
father’s death bed decree that she take her vows and become the virginal bride
of Christ. The hired men seeing her to the Priory at Tanshelf are more
interested in the building resentment against the English king than her safety.
But when the handsome Norman knight offers his protection against the lecherous
mercenaries, he sparks her passion with his gentle touch and smoldering looks
of desire, reminding her of dreams best forgotten. Can one night with him
quench the intense need in her or will it cause the fire to burn out of
control?

Peter of
Normandy is a trusted knight of King William, sent north to subdue the unrest
and rumblings of revolt at York. Giving aid to an Irish princess more noble
than many knights, he is quickly overcome with the need to possess her. With a
body meant for a man’s pleasure and an unrelenting stubbornness to follow her
father’s wishes, he struggles against giving her what she wants if it can only
be for one night. Will one night of passion prove to be enough or will it
unleash an insatiable need that makes him never want to let her go?
