Publisher's Synopsis
He's determined to clear his family name, but the power of her kiss threatens his future.
The Lord of the Castle:
Lord Corbett Blake is determined to bring honor back to his family name. The king has told him he needs to marry, or he will lose his title and lands. Corbett's father made the wrong decision years ago of marrying a commoner, and now it is up to Corbett to make things right.
Corbett searches for the perfect lady, but his reputation precedes him. With his raven perched on his shoulder, some say he is the messenger of death. After all, three times his future brides have died before ever reaching the altar. He tries to focus on a suitable lady, but his new serving girl with the bright green eyes keeps entering his mind, taunting him and tempting him to make the wrong decision.
The Serving Girl:
Devon has been raised in secret, hidden inside the walls of the monastery for the last eighteen years. Now the black-hearted lord of Steepleton has discovered her and made her a servant in his castle. When he lets down the walls around his heart, she sees him for the man he truly is, and loses her heart to a man she can never be with since she is not a noble.
Deception and secrets are many within the walls of Blake Castle. But nothing can hold a candle to the passion that stirs between Corbett and his servant, Devon - a woman who can destroy his very future with the power of just one kiss.
