From the author of Autumnfire and The Devil's Darling comes a magnificent historical romance in which a beautiful young woman, taught to do battle like a man, matches wills with a handsome warrior--one who dares to claim her castle, and its mistress, for his own.
Alaine de Ste. Claire rode across the raw Normandy countryside, her thick blond hair floating behind her like a banner. The proud daughter of a lord, she had been raised to wage war and to rule, and she preferred her sword and her freedom to marriage and a life of submission.
Then her beloved father died - and the defense of his castle and lands fell to Alaine. Now her skills would be tested well, for from the south comes Rorik Valis, a vengeful handsome warrior who dared to claim her domain - and its mistress - for his own.
Her heart under siege as well as her home, Alaine would fight the battle of her life, resisting her enemy's taunting, burning embrace, even as her womanhood blossomed and begged for fulfillment...and made her secretly yearn for his love.
