Betrayed by the man she loved, Lady Willa of Wakefield is left a young widow with a reputation in tatters. Her family circles around her, providing support and safety, but Willa quickly realizes her life can never be as it once was. When one of King William’s fiercest knights offers her a marriage of convenience, Willa casts aside her pride and hatred for all things Norman and jumps at the chance to be the mistress of her own household. Soon, however, Willa recognizes that her new husband isn’t all that he seems, and she finds herself drawn to the taciturn warrior. Can Willa let down her guard and allow this man to mend her broken heart or will old prejudices doom their relationship before it even starts? Sir Geoffrey thinks he’s lost his mind. Why else would he offer to marry the spoiled Saxon beauty and promise not to touch her? He plans to go back to Normandy, anyway, leaving Willa with the independence she craves. But when rebellion forces Geoffrey to stay in England and under the same roof as his lovely wife, he begins to find their agreement and growing attraction… stifling. Will he be able to let her go when the time comes, or will Geoffrey be another Norman who falls for the allure of England and a good woman?
