"New York Times" bestselling author Heather Graham, writing as Shannon Drake, offers the smoldering story of a land divided by treachery and a man and woman bound by passion. Although Alaric, a mighty Norman warrior, rescues Fallon from certain death, she tries desperately to resist this seductive enemy who vows to conquer her with a love that will turn her heart to fire.

Green-eyed, golden-haired Princess Allora of Scotland's Far isle has been brought up to hate all things Norman. But, to free her fierce, rabbler-rousing uncle from imprisonment by King William the Conqueror, she is compelled to marry Bred d' Anlou, a handsome, dynamic Norman knight. Ultimately one love must be sacrificed...either the Scottish kingdom Allora cherishes or the magnificent knight whose touch sets her heart aflame.
