My Beloved — Karen Ranney

A Knight in Peril
When Sebastian, Earl of Langlinais, became ensnared in his villainous brother's plots, he had no choice but to turn to his virgin bride for help--a wife he had not seen since the day they had wed as children. He had planned for her to remain his wife in name only, yet Sebastian had not counted in being enchanted by her beauty. But could he really tell her the secret reason why their love could lever be ... ?

A Bride-in-Waiting
Convent-bred Julianna had spent her days learning the wifely arts ... and her nights longing for the man she had wed so long ago. Summoned to join him, the naive bride came face-to-face with a man so virile, so powerful, she trembled in his presence. And although he asked her to go against everything she held true, she could not resist surrender-even if it meant losing her soul.
