Surrender the Stars — Linda Lea Castle

Betrothed But Loving Another...Or So He Thinks
Desmond Vaudry du Lac is appalled when King Henry III commands him to wed Aislinn, who's been dubbed the Poison Flower of Seven Oaks, having buried four husbands in five years. But Desmond is loyal to his king and vows to do his bidding, only to find that his fiancee refuses to see him. He doesn't guess that the mysterious and beautiful lady he encounters nightly in the garden is his bride-to-be, or that she has fallen in love with him. When by royal decree they are married, Desmond is stunned to discover Aislinn's true identity. And while the passion he shares with her is pure bliss, dark, secret forces swirl around them. Now, it will take all of their courage -- and trust -- to triumph over the danger that threatens their lives...and their love.
