From the back cover:
She is Mary, the beautiful daughter
of the Scottish king—and an 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.
