No Surrender

Passion Is A Powerful Ruler
A madman's twisted ego brought them together. A king's command ripped them apart. But the single night of shattering erotic pleasure they shared has not dimmed in Fawkes de Cressey's memory. For three years he has waited to return to Mordeux Castle and claim Lady Nicola Mortimer as his own...forever. Yet upon his approach, Mordeux's army attacks--and all signs point to treachery on her part. Suddenly Fawkes is torn between desire and distrust. For while victory in battle has won him the Lady Nicola, he is no longer certain he knows the woman with whom he has dreamed of sharing his bed...and his life. Whispers of a dangerous secret Nicola keeps only makes Fawkes more determined to bend her to his will. But will it be he who surrenders his heart?
