Deceptively fragile-looking, Eleanore of Ashlin had promised her life to God...until fate intervened. With her brother's untimely death, Eleanore-known as Elf to those who love her-becomes the heiress of an estate vital to England's defenses. She is ordered by royal command to wed one of king's knoghts rather than take her final vows. With resistant heart but ever obedient to King Stephen's will, she complies.
Ranulf de Glandeville is all too aware that his innocent bride who wants no man; yet his patience, gentle hand, and growing love for his spirtited young wife soon awaken Eleanore to passions she never knew, or desired...until now.
