Bartered Bride

HE BOUGHT HER HAND IN MARRIAGE, BUT HE HAD TO WIN HER LOVE....

From the tower at Colmaine Castle, Lady Alyce Fitzmartin watches the approach of the richly clad stranger, the man she is to wed that very night. The arrogant London tradesman Robert Wardell is the answer to her father's debts -- and a bridegroom Alyce is certain she will never love.

Love is the last thing Robert wants from the marriage. Caught between the tyrannical king and those who would overthrow the Crown, he needs a wife to use as a pawn. But as England burns with the fire of revolt, Robert and Alyce discover unexpected passion -- a passion for which both must gamble their lives.
