A historical captive romance where circumstance binds a woman to a man on the other side of duty and desire. The heat is more restrained than modern dark fare, but the longing and power tension run deep. Readers who enjoy period settings, forbidden attraction across opposing worlds, and a slow surrender to forbidden feeling will find a sweeping, tension-rich read.
