Raised in the shadow of his warrior brothers, Sir Garth de Ware has retreated to a life of peace in the Church, seeking refuge from the unbridled desire that nearly destroyed him as a youth.
But a beautiful healer from his past—newly widowed Lady Cynthia le Wyte—is not about to let the daring hero she remembers brood away in a monastery. She sweeps into Garth’s humdrum life, reawakening his passions and challenging his vows of silence and celibacy. And ultimately, Garth is forced to choose between his holy calling and the calling of his heart.
