Overview
A betrothal has been announced that will join together Britain's two most powerful families — a union of wealth and influence to rival even the King's himself. But not only does the dangerously ambitious King John oppose this wedding, but Milisant and Wulfric — the intended bride and groom — are equally unhappy with the arrangement. Two passionate, headstrong people, they resent being thrown together for purely dynastic reasons. But fate's many twists and turns — and the unpredictable predilections of two unconquerable hearts — will turn an unwanted marriage of convenience into a true and eternal joining of desire and love.
