"You are no ordinary woman, my Lady Alice de Longmore."
And she was not. The savagery of 14th century England was no hindrance to the proud, passionate Lady Alice de Longmore. She would have her family's banners restored to the castle at Longmore. And she would be free from the grasping talons of the lecherous, despicable Earl of Warwick, who wanted Longmore castle--and Alice.
For her own protection, Alice sought sanctuary at the court of Edward II. There she met the King's notorious favorite, Piers Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall. Gaveston's power and influence in the court were matchless. So was his attraction to Alice de Longmore.
And to them was born a love that knew no bounds. A love that defied everyone and everything that dared to oppose it. And with that love came a passion so overwhelming...a passion locked in a secret that could destroy Alice and the man she loved....
