Description
It was a time of passion and perfidy, of magic and mystery ... a time when desire went hand in hand with danger for a man and, woman who dared to love...
Blessed with a loveliness that could tempt to sin, convent-bred Lady Cary Seton has been granted a place in the household of King Henry VIII's young daughter Elizabeth. En route to court, she is attacked ... and rescued by Lord Thomas Montfort, whose brilliant blue eyes brand her body and claim her for his own.
Thomas has been ordered to guard Cary's virginity until a husband is found for her, for Henry himself, besotted by Cary's beauty, commands the right to take her innocence on her wedding night. But with each passing day, Thomas and Cary are tempted by a passion that only grows stronger with resistance.
Soon pride, deception, and a vengeful king will separate the lovers. Soon Cary and Thomas will risk their lives for their love ... in a world where only the boldest and truest can find the strength and desire to follow an elusive dream.
