from the back cover:
	She is Mary, the beautiful daughter of the Scottish king- and unwilling prisoner of the Norman invaders. The headstrong princess refuses to reveal her identity- even if it means sacrificing her virtue. But in the arms of a dangerous enemy she discovers a powerful passion and a powerful promise. Brave and battle-hardened Stephen de Warenne is prepared to defend to the death that which is his by right of conquest- including the golden-haired captive who awakens his soul's most secret yearnings. For theirs is a passion that will not be denied- a magnificent fire that burns hotter and brighter than the blazing flames of war that engulf the land.

"I should warn you , Mademoiselle, I have little interest left in the truth. If you have something to say, you had better say itnow, before it is too late." There was no mistaking Stephens excitement. His eyes glittered wildly now, his nostrils flared. His grip upon her had tightened, and his body throbbed urgently against hers. "I have nothing to say, " Mary said hoarsely. "Good." He lifted her in his arms. Their gazes locked and her will died. She had never known her body could be so hungry. "The time for words is over."
