One of the world's best-loved authors of historical romance, JOHANNA LINDSEY once again weaves her magical spell in a magnificent tale of an unlikely couple divided by the prospects of an arranged marriage -- but destined to share the deepest union.
Beautiful Milisant Crispin and handsome, arrogant Wulfric, the future Earl of Shefford, are engaged -- and seldom has a betrothed couple been less suited. Her father has decreed that Milisant has a month to accustom herself to the future earl before the marriage takes place. As the time dwindles, Milisant desperately searches for a way out. But Wulfric is falling under a spell himself, cast by the proud, strong woman who will be pledged to him against her will in a few short days. And even as the joining of these two young people draws nearer, so too does a threat of danger which could destroy much more than a planned ceremony.
Johanna Lindsey has created two unforgettable characters tied together by circumstance, but sharing a boundless passion that will force them to search their hearts -- and surrender to a yearning far beyond their control.
