Description
Set in England during the 1500s during a time of arranged marriages, Alanna is told by her father that she is to be married to a long-time friend's son. But Alanna wants to choose for herself the man she marries. After a heated discussion, she consents to meet the man with the stipulation that if they do not get along, she will not marry him. The future groom is battling his own demons. Because Devon was born a bastard, someone believes that he should not inherit his father's title and wealth. He gets severely beaten and is left for dead. Devon manages to mount his horse and ride to the nearby manor house of his betrothed. Charles, Alanna's father, recognizes Devon but doesn't identify him. Meanwhile, Alanna nurses Devon back to health, but has no idea that this man is her betrothed. She battles with her feelings of passion while honoring her father's wishes. Devon realizes that Alanna is the lady chosen for his bride. He falls instantly in love with her and swears Charles to secrecy, so he can woo Alanna in his own way and find out who tried to kill him. With the help of a friend, he figures out who was behind the attack and why. Is there happiness in store for these star-crossed lovers?
