About this item
From the beloved author of The Warlord and The Dark Knight, an emotional, deeply passionate medieval romance Married and widowed at a tender age, Princess Isabel Plantagenet understands her duty: to wed a new husband chosen by her father for the purpose of consolidating his power. Faulke Segrave, a rogue suspected of high treason whose past wives died under mysterious circumstances, is hardly suitor material, but his piercing blue eyes spark a fire in Isabel that makes her feel oddly safe and deeply curious. Quite a pair they will make, for she has dark secrets of her own that can never see the light of day. Faulke does not relish this arrangement any more than his bride does, but he can't deny his attraction to this poised, beautiful woman whose level gaze and strong command make him ache to have her.
About the Author
Elizabeth Elliott's first novel, THE WARLORD, was released in 1995 and became a bestseller that garnered numerous awards and nominations including the Romance Writers' of America RITA award for Best First Book and Waldenbooks Bestselling Debut Author Award. Her two favorite time periods to read and write about are Regency England and the medieval era.
Subsequent books have featured members of the same families or characters who appeared in previous books. Elizabeth says, "My characters really come to life for me, and every one of them have story to tell. Not all of those stories make it onto paper, but whenever I work on a manuscript, one of the secondary characters always seems to shout louder than the rest that they need a book of their own."
Her latest book, THE DARK KNIGHT, was released on June 26th, 2012. She is currently at work on her next novel in the medieval series, THE PRINCESS, which also features characters who appear in THE DARK KNIGHT.
