    About this ebook

    Lady Rowena's world is about to be turned upside down. She will do anything to get out of marrying Lord Hector Drageon even if it means sacrificing her life. Just when things seem hopeless, a handsome knight comes to escort her to her betrothed. Rowena can't keep her eyes off of Sir Eadric and longs to warm his bed. She is determined to experience the pleasures of the flesh and wants Sir Eadric to be the one to indulge her.

    The lovers fall into temptation, but they will have to pay a price for their sordid affair. Lord Hector uses the powers of evil to tear them apart in order to have Rowena for his own. Will Sir Eadric be her hero, or will he be just a one night stand?

      An Unwanted Betrothal

      Sweat poured from her brow as she rocked back and forth. Heat consumed her with each forceful thrust. He probed farther, plowing deeper into her sheath. Yes, she thought, wrapping her legs around his waist. This was what she craved. This was what she wanted. Faster. Deeper. He pushed into her, pulsating wildly. The rhythm of their lovemaking drove her to the edge. With one final plunge, her body spasmed and convulsed as the essence of her desire drenched her sex.

      Rowena shot straight up in bed gasping for air. Her heart throbbed against each rib with such vigor that she thought it would leap out of her chest. The linen shift, damp from perspiration, clung to her body like a second skin.

      It's just a dream, she breathed, feeling gooseflesh pepper her arms.

      Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Rowena's lady in waiting barged into the bedchamber.

      Rise and shine, my lady, Matilda said cheerfully, You have a big day ahead of you.

      I'm not sure if I can go through with this, she sighed.

      Matilda shot her a wary eye. What's wrong, child? Are you ill?

      No, she said, I'm not ill.

      You look a bit feverish, Matilda bustled over and felt her forehead. No fever. It must be nerves.

      This is more than just jitters.

      All maidens get anxious before their wedding night.

      "Anxious isn't the word. Dread is more like it."

      Don't be silly, child.

      This is a fool's errand, Matilda. I don't even like him.

      You will in time.

      Some say that he is cruel.

      You're beauty will soften his heart. Matilda ran a few fingers through Rowena's blonde locks. Everything will be fine.

      How do you know? she asked.

      Rowena, Matilda said solemnly, I'm not going to lie to you. It's no telling what you may face, but Westhaven Castle is depending on you. You can't let your father down.

      Rowena looked down at the floor and wished that she could disappear. Why did she have to be the martyr? A few
