Growing up behind the impenetrable walls of an English fortress, Magdalen does not know that she is the illegitimate daughter of a powerful English prince and his murdered French mistress-or that she has been a pawn in the struggle between England and France ever since she slipped from her dying mother's womb. All she knows is that she longs for excitement. Then one day, as if in answer to her prayers, Guy de Gervais, a true knight in shing armor, rides into her cloistered world and spirits her away.

For Magdalen, it is love at first sight-the one and only love of her life. Yet Guy sees only his responsibility to keep Magdalen safe until she can be wed to his nephew and thus fulfil her political destiny. When Guy returns from the bloody battlefields of France, Magdalen has grown into a stunning sensual beauty. Suddenly the noble knight is fighting the fiercest battle of his life; against a searing desire for a woman he cannot have.
