Summary

An unbridled Renaissance romance from the New York Times bestselling author who “knows how to tell a story that captures the imagination” (Romantic Times).  He saved her with chivalry. He loved her with savagery.   When handsome Lord Chatham rescued the golden-haired Ondine from England’s gallows, he demanded only one thing in return . . . her hand in marriage. In gratitude, Ondine consented to his plans—yet refused his touch.   Though his smoldering desire aroused her own secret longings, Ondine defied her mysterious husband. Until suddenly, in the notorious court of Charles II, the sapphire-eyed beauty was plunged into a web of danger and desire, jealousy, and romance. As secrets exploded, and swords clashed in vengeance, the strangers in marriage became partners in passion, and lovers on fire . . .  Praise for Heather Graham   “An incredible storyteller.” —Los Angeles Daily News   “Engrossing, sexy historical romance.” —Publishers Weekly   “Graham is a master at crafting stories that never feel old.” —RT Book Reviews   “Will keep you glued to the pages . . . [with] the danger, drama, and energy.” —Fresh Fiction   “Never fails to amaze and entertain.” —Rave Reviews
