by Deborah Hale

To protect her home and people, Cecily Tyrell would marry the devil himself! And if rumor held any truth, she would mayhap do so! A royal command bound her to wed Lord Rowan DeCourtenay, a knight of some renown...but a widower of shadowed repute. Still, he was the warrior she needed but was he the man she wanted? Headstrong, valiant, and dangerous she was, for Cecily Tyrell alone made Rowan DeCourtenay yearn to dismiss the guard around the citadel of his heart. Though would their love, born in disguise and adventure, survive when all his soul s dark secrets were finally exposed?
