Description
Kieran must recover his family lands from the Sasannaich. Taking Juliana to wife is the only way. His father made deals with the English king before his passing, leaving Kieran no choice. Kieran doesn't trust Juliana, and she's not too sure she trusts him either, every approach meets with resistance. Touching, however lightly, makes her tremble, and Juliana is unaware of how she makes Kieran's heart soar each time she looks at him.
Juliana travels the path of her dreams, until the enemy crashes into her life. Forced by the king to wed. Truth and freedom make unlikely bed partners. Independence is what Juliana dreams of but when the enemy enters and everything changes. Kieran's an untrustworthy barbarian from across the Channel, where her brother fights. His charming brogue, and sparkling emerald eyes cause Juliana's resolve to start slipping.
Mistrust and hostility, intertwine with their personal dreams and nightmares from their past to build a web of deception that threatens to tear them apart before they've ever had a chance to find love.
