hunters willing to overlook her flawed pedigree to gain her family’s enormous wealth. The arrogant and impoverished duke of Sedgwick, Quinton Hunter, is her most ardent suitor who has little to offer a prospective wife except his grand title. Allegra agrees to marry the duke with one condition—her husband must never ask for her love. She has seen the misery love can cause and has vowed to give her heart to no man.

Quinton is dazzled by his new wife’s grace and fortitude, as well as the fierce desire that rages between them. Then the terrors of the French Revolution hit close to home and the two of them set off on a treacherous adventure that could cost them everything … including their final chance at happiness.

THE INNOCENT

Eleanore of Ashlin promises her life to God until her brother’s unexpected death. Eleanore inherits his estate that is vital to England’s defenses, and now she is ordered by royal command to wed one of the king’s knights rather than taking her final vows as a nun. Obedient to the king’s command, Eleanor marries Ranulf de Glandeville who is unaware of her resistant heart.

Yet Sir Glandeville’s patience, gentle hand and growing love for his spirited young wife soon awaken Eleanore’s passions—but their love will be threatened by a depraved woman who will put Eleanore’s life in jeopardy and the young bride’s love to its greatest test.
