Bound by Honor

The moment Rhys saw the stunning young woman selling her exquisitely crafted pottery in the marketplace, he was captivated. But the wealthy freemason would never have guessed that just a few days later, a misunderstanding would land Joan in the stown stocks and he would become her unlikely savior. After the grueling ordeal, Rhys tenderly cares for Joan's bruised body-and her bruised pride. Yet he longs to do much more...to satisfy the fire that sparks between the pair the moment they are alone.

When Rhys meets with her employer to buy potter-and buys her instead-Joan is furious. Se vows to resist falling under the spell of the handsome, imposing Rhys. But she finds that her resolve quickly softens when tempted by Rhy's powerful charms-and she can only hope to find a way to avoid surrendering to her potent desire...
