Описание: A noblewoman takes her twin's place in marriage to a Norman invader in this "absorbing, sexually charged" medieval romance from a USA Today-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
All her life, Linnea de Valcourt has been reviled as the cursed daughter of Maidenstone Castle. The younger of identical twins, she narrowly escaped a death sentence at birth. To save her beloved sister from marriage to the savage Norman conqueror who has laid siege to their castle, Linnea will sacrifice her own happiness by engaging in a dangerous deception.
Years of exile have driven Axton de la Manse to the brink of despair. Now he will have his vengeance by taking his enemy's most prized possession, his eldest daughter. Once they wed and she is carrying the de la Manse heir, no one can dispute his claim to Maidenstone, the stronghold stolen from his family. That is, until the unthinkable happens: He loses his heart to his bride, whose own desires ignite a fierce longing deep within Axton. Is their growing love enough to overcome the lies and treachery that could drive them apart?
With enthralling characters, passionate romance, and spellbinding adventure, the award-winning author of The Matchmaker and The Bridemaker "demonstrates that she is a master of her craft" (RT Book Reviews).

Описание: In this "delicious medieval love story," a noblewoman is forced to honor a long-ago betrothal to a ruthless warrior--who is now her family's bitter enemy (Romantic Times). Lady Lilliane was betrothed to Corbett of Colchester at the age of fourteen, long before their families became sworn enemies. Years later, Corbett unexpectedly turns up to claim his beautiful bride and, by contract, her valuable dowry: Castle Orrick. Suspecting some royal intrigue lies behind Corbett's sudden desire for this marriage, Lilliane vows she will never lie in his bed. But what fate awaits Lilliane--and all England--if she resists him? And what darker fate if she surrenders? This "sensual romance set in 13th-century England" marked the award-winning debut of this USA Today-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
