LORD RAYNOR WAS NO MATCH FOR THE LOVELY WOMAN HE'D BEEN FORCED TO TAKE TO WIFE.

The grim defenses around Lord Warwicke's heart had been erected long ago. But now his defiant wife had dared to breach his stronghold, challenging him to lay aside the armor of his suspicions, and surrender to the greater strength of love. Despite the challenges of their forced union, the couple's love blossoms amidst the barriers of their past.
