Can an untempered love heal the pain of their pasts? Men are scoundrels and women vipers. Neither Faela, the esteemed daughter of an earl, nor Lyfing, a roguish lord, can put their trust in love after scorn and dejection at the hands of those who held their hearts. When looking for a wife who might mend and tend and warm his bed come winter, Lyfing stumbles upon the fair lady Faela. With his blunt tongue, he claims outright love is not to be between them, and she almost too willingly agrees to his terms, preferring his honesty to the honeyed lies of all others who would woo her. The deal struck, she returns with him to his manor as Lady of Wulfengard. However, secrets, deceit, and dishonor swirl like a winter gale about them, unraveling mysteries and pasts they would have much rather left untouched. Faced with old wounds and shattered oaths, they are brought yet again to their lowest, where they may just succumb to one another. This medieval romance displays wit and banter, strong characters, and a marriage of convenience that descends into one of passion. Some promises simply were meant to be broken.
