A widowed princess determined to never love again finds her carefully guarded resolve shattered when a bold and commanding Norman knight enters her world. Simon de Montfort sees past Eleanor's royal beauty to the passionate woman beneath her vow of chastity, and he's determined to claim her heart—and more. Their collision is electric and dangerous, set against the political intrigue of medieval England where their love could reshape kingdoms. Perfect for readers who crave a sweeping historical romance with a heroine who must choose between duty and desire, and a hero strong enough to match her strength.
Reading soundtrack
Epic medieval passion collides with forbidden desire—lush orchestral arrangements meet smoldering indie rock. Think Florence + The Machine's raw intensity, Hozier's dark sensuality, and sweeping strings. Yearning, dangerous, and undeniably spicy.
