The Velvet Promise

ALL OF ENGLAND REJOICED ON HER WEDDING DAY, BUT JUDITH VOWED THAT HER HUSBAND WOULD GET ONLY WHAT HE TOOK FROM HER!

At the flower-bedecked altar, the first touch of their hands ignited an all-consuming passion. The tall, broad-shouldered Gavin Montgomery looked deep into her golden eyes, stroked her rich auburn hair, and burned with desire for her ... but his heart had been pledged to another.

Humiliated and alone in a strange castle, Judith resolved to hate this husband who took her body, but rejected her love ...never admitting her fear of losing him--even after she faced Gavin's icy, blonde mistress, who schemed to keep the handsome knight by any means, even murder.

But destiny held another fate for Judith than the cold and loveless one she had chosen -- a fate as rich in rapture as their wedding had foretold long before ... a fate that would keep at last... THE VELVET PROMISE
