The Wolf: Noble Aislinn grieves as the Iron Wolf and his minions storm through her beloved Darkenwald. She burns with malice for the handsome Norman savage who would enslave her, even as she aches to know the rapture of the conqueror's kiss.

The Dove: For the first time ever, mighty Wulfgar has been vanquished by a bold and beautiful princess of Saxon blood. He must have the chaste, sensuous enchantress who is sworn to his destruction. He will risk life itself to nurture with tender passion a glorious union born in the blistering heat of hatred and war.

In the resplendence of William the Conqueror's London court, the lovely Saxon captive, Lady Nicholaa, was forced to choose a husband from the assembled Norman nobles. She chose Royce, a baron warrior whose fierce demeanor could not conceal his chivalrous and tender heart.

Resourceful, rebellious, and utterly naive, Nicholaa vowed to bend Royce to her will despite the whirlwind of feelings he aroused in her.

Ferocious in battle, seasoned in passion, Royce was surprised by the depth of his emotion whenever he caressed his charming bride.

In a climate of utmost treachery, where Saxons still intrigued against their Norman invaders, Royce and Nicholaa reveled in their precious new love... a fervent bond soon to be disrupted by the call of blood, kin, and country!
