Product DescriptionRITA winner for Best Historical Romance
Britain, 1351. After an arduous exile to flee the darkness and danger sweeping her lands, Lady Elizabeth D’Auvers returns home to Woodell Castle, yearning only for her looms and her quiet life. To her astonishment, she finds the castle and farmlands thriving, thanks to Lord Thomas of Roxburgh, a knight errant whose size and strength offer protection to Elizabeth’s castle and its people.
Lord Thomas’s warm gaze makes Elizabeth’s flesh burn with unaccustomed fire, and her defenses crumble, leaving her heart as vulnerable as her trembling body. Yet chilling thoughts trouble her mind. For there is something dark and mysterious about this man—a secret that makes him as forbidden to desire as he is impossible to resist.

Thomas is some one you just have to root for. This story lets you know that you are born in the right century. How devestating to be poor or of the 'wrong' bloodline. Good read after you get the jest of it.

The book is a little slow at first and it was hard to get into it. The author spends a lot of time on developing the characters, which becomes important later in the story. By the second half, it was really hard to put it down. I think the book does a good job of explaining some of the customs of the time and giving the reader a feel for life in 14th century England.
