INNOCENT BRIDE,
CONQUERING HUSBAND!
As a novice, Lady Cecily of Fulford's knowledge of men is nonexistent. But when tragic news bids her home immediately, her only means of escape from the convent is to brazenly offer herself to the enemy...as a bride!
With her fate now in the hands of her husband, Sir Adam Wymark, she battles to protect her family. Suspicions and betrayal are rife, yet their convenient marriage offers Cecily much more than comfort in her knight's arms...
Wessex Weddings
Normans and Saxons, conflict and desire!
A Taste of Romance:
'Be calm,' he murmured and swiftly, so swiftly that Cecily had no notion what he was about, he released her and reached up. Deftly unpinning her veil, he cast it aside. Stunned beyond movement, for no man had ever touched her clothing so intimately, Cecily swallowed and stood meek as a lamb while quick fingers reached behind her to release the tie of her wimple and then that too followed her veil into a corner. Reaching past her neck he found her plait and drew it forward, so it draped over her shoulder.
For all that the brightest of flags must be flying on her cheeks, Cecily shivered, shamefully aware that it was not with distaste. Mother Aethel spluttered with outrage, even Sir Richard was moved to protest. 'I say, Adam . . .' But Cecily had eyes and ears only for the man in front of her, the man whose green eyes even now were caressing her hair. He no longer touched her anywhere, yet she could scarcely breathe.
'No dowry,' he repeated softly, still gazing at her hair. 'But there is gold enough here for any man.'
