Brice Fitzwilliam is finally paid his due. Awarded the title and lands of Thaxted, the warrior waits to claim his promised virgin bride.

But Gillian of Thaxted will be no man’s prize! She will not submit to the conquering knight’s powerful physique, dark, piercing eyes or the bold way his arm drapes protectively over her at night . . .
