Book description
1126. Heulwen, daughter of Welsh Marcher baron Guyon FitzMiles, has
grown up with her father's ward, Adam de Lacey. There has always been a
spark between them, but when Heulwen marries elsewhere, to Ralf le
Chevalier, a devastated Adam absents himself on various diplomatic
missions for King Henry I. When Ralf is killed in a skirmish, Heulwen's
father considers a new marriage for her with his neighbour's son, Warrin
de Mortimer. Adam, recently returned to England, has good reason to
loathe Warrin and is determined not to lose Heulwen a second time. But
Heulwen is torn between her duty to her father and the pull of her
heart. Adam is no longer the awkward boy she remembers, but a man who
stirs every fibre of her being - which places them both in great danger,
because Warrin de Mortimer is not a man to be crossed and the future of
a country is at stake… Elizabeth Chadwick lives near Nottingham with
her husband, two sons and assorted animals including cats, dog and
guinea pigs. She is the author of 15 historical novels, four of which
have been shortlisted for awards.
