Rowena is in a bind—she needs an heir, and fast, or her ruthless stepbrother will destroy her. Her solution? Kidnap the gorgeous knight Warrick deChaville and force him to father her child. But Warrick isn't about to take his captivity lying down (well, not without a plan), and he's determined to turn the tables on his spirited abductor. What unfolds is a deliciously tense game of passion and power where neither captor nor captive can quite resist the other, even as they each plot their delicious revenge.
