Betrayed

Arrianna of Bethany consents to wed for the sake of her country’s peace, but her traveling party is ambushed on its way to her betrothed’s castle. There can be only one man arrogant enough to carry out the deed--André de le Monte, The Black Wolf. Arrianna remembered him well--five years before, he had taken her heart, her virginity and her father’s life. Now, he had come for her.

André’s pursuit of Arrianna has been less than ardent. In the years since he’d fled the charge of murder, he has been preoccupied defending his lands against a horde of enemies. Cheated out of his bride, André will go to any length to restore what belongs to him alone. Once Arrianna is in his castle and his bed, they find the fires between them never extinguished but have smoldered and now blaze out of control.

As her betrothed’s army and her own country’s forces bear down on Le Monte’s castle, Arrianna must decide where her loyalty liesâ€"with her country or her heart. He betrayed her once. Would he again?
