Damsel — Debra Hamilton

THEY HAD SHARED THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF CHILDHOOD

As children they had played together -- Hunter Kinshella, a groomsman's son and Tamasin Cullen, a beautiful peasant girl who longed to be a lady. Her desperate need made her the perfect pawn in a plot of vengeance that would banish Hunter from his beloved Ireland.

WAS THEIR BOND STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND WHAT MUST COME?

Now, ten years later, Hunter is no longer the tender boy Tamasin knew, but a wronged stranger whose anger -- and desire -- she fears. Yet Tamasin refuses to surrender, for surely this passion will destroy her dreams of a better life. She will give nothing of herself to Hunter -- not even one secret, silent moment of regret.

But the fires of rebellion soon spread across their homeland -- inflaming a proud people to revolt and sweeping Tamasin and Hunter into a world of intrigue, danger -- and undeniable love.
