The Amethyst Crown — Katherine Deauxville

FROM THE LAVISH SPLENDOR OF A ROYAL CASTLE TO THE SWAVAGE WELSH BORDER LANDS...

She is Constance, England's richest heiress. A radiant, silver-eyed beauty, she is a player in the ruthless power games of King Henry I. Now, a desperate gambit takes her back to Wales where she falls prey to a ragged prisoner who escapes his chains, enters her bedchamber...and enslaves her with his touch.

He is a bronzed, blond Adonis whose dangerous past has forced him to wander Britain in disguise. He will escape an enemy's shackles-only to discover a woman whose kisses fire his tormented soul. His birthright is a secret, but this wild, burning love is his destiny...
