Sinopse

Hywel, the King of Dyfed, falls in love with Elen, the beautiful young daughter of the deceased King of Dyfed. Their betrothal makes political sense, as it unites the two kingdoms, but their love for each other is genuine. Hywel becomes a just and wise king, introducing reforms to the Welsh legal system and forging alliances with neighboring kingdoms.
 
After going on a pilgrimage to Rome to get his law code approved by the Pope, Hywel gets caught up in political intrigue and seduced by a powerful Roman noblewoman. Back in Wales, he has to deal with a rebellion by the eldest son of the deceased King of Brycheiniog. Despite these challenges, Hywel strives to be a virtuous and enlightened king, and remains beloved by his people.
 
Based on the life of a true historical figure, John Broughton's 'Hywel The Good' is the story of one of the most important characters in Welsh history, remembered for his reforms to the Welsh legal system, and his efforts to unite the kingdoms of South Wales.

    Shay Matthews moved to Boston for a fresh start . . . new apartment, new job, new routine. After too many years being coddled by her overbearing older brothers, Shay's ready for some freedom and maybe a nice, easy-going guy. She wasn't expecting to literally run into the scowling, brooding (and unfairly smoking hot) guy next door. 
     
     
     
    Fresh off a haunting undercover assignment, detective Wyatt Daniels is jaded about life, relationships, and especially happily-ever-after. But there's something about the independent and beautiful Shay that makes him want to dig deeper. Or stay away, which is definitely the smarter option of the two. 
     
     
     
    But the more Shay tries to convince herself that her sweet building manager, Brady, is the guy for her, the more Mr. Completely Wrong-for-Her Wyatt invades her mind and her heart. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
