Publisher's Synopsis
Freed from the tyranny of King John, the Norman Montbryces must do what they can to aid English cousins caught in John's cruel grip.
The heart knows.Roland de Montbryce has never met Adelina de Quincey, yet he feels inexorably drawn to his distant cousin, a woman forced into a betrothal to an elderly man. His heart tells him she is his soul mate. Risking his life by sailing to King John's England to rescue her might be considered foolhardy, especially by those who know Roland as the carefree, philandering second son. A woman alone.
Believing her only brother, her one champion, has died in battle, Adelina entertains thoughts of ending her life rather than submitting to a cruel man who has already buried three wives. Can a man fall in love with a woman he has never met? And, if Roland succeeds in saving Adelina before the fateful marriage takes place, will she feel the same about him?
