Publisher Description
Her future may be in peril, but it will take more than a royal army to be the undoing of a fiery heiress in medieval England. . .
Julian Griffin has vowed to fulfill his mission: to secure the estate of Fallstowe for King Edward. Only one obstacle stands in his way--the beautiful Lady Sybilla Foxe. The King suspects her guilty of treason, and Julian must prove the claims are true. But as the evidence against Sybilla mounts, so does Julian's attraction.
Prepared to fight for her home, Sybilla is fearless--even when King Edward's army descends upon Fallstowe Castle. Yet in Julian she discovers a more formidable foe than she imagined. For he stirs an overwhelming desire in her. And when she is forced to confront the secrets of her family's past, Sybilla must rely on Julian to save her from the King's wrath. But as their feelings for one another deepen, giving in to temptation will put both their lives in danger. . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The final installment in Grothaus's Foxe Sisters trilogy (after Never Seduce a Scoundrel) highlights the trials of the eldest sister, Sybilla, as she defends her home. In 13th-century England, King Edward sends Lord Julian Griffin and his army to Fallstowe Castle. Julian's mission is to uncover Sybilla's parents' deepest secrets and prove that she is not entitled to possess Fallstowe. The budding romance between Sybilla and Julian is fraught with deceit and half-truths, and when Sybilla discovers that Edward has promised Fallstowe to Julian, she believes every romantic feeling he has professed toward her is completely false. Sybilla is a complex, stoical woman whose initial cool demeanor hides her deep capability to care for others. The love story is carefully woven into the mystery of Sybilla's ancestry to create a memorable historical romance.
