Amber Promise — Margaret Abbey

BELEAGUERED LOVE

Wealthy heiress to Birlstone castle, Lady Alys possessed a rare and golden beauty, hidden since childhood by the mark of her father's wrath. When Prince John approved her marriage to handsome Baron Geoffrey de Courcelles, the young groom showered Alys with lavish gifts and freed her from the single blemish that denied her loveliness. Yet Geoffrey remained strangely cold and aloof, withholding the affection her viriginal heart craved. Then a rival suitor publicly insulted Geoffrey at the Royal Notthingham tournament, and Alys was plunged into a drama of rebellion, secret treachery, and awakening desire.
