Battlefield of Hearts — Joanna Makepeace

Coerced into marriage? NEVER!

Rather than be forced into a loveless marriage, Aleyne Risby escaped, hoping to find the protection of her cousin. But during those troubled times of war, Aleyne was relieved, yet terrified of what would follow -- especially since this brave warrior set her body on fire. Sir Dominick Allard had a more shocking proposal than a night of unbridled passion. By king's decree, Sir Dominick was to become her husband! Swept up in the turmoil -- and excitement -- Aleyne had little choice but to accept Dominick and pray that she wasn't making a grave mistake!
