About this book

When a Saxon noblewoman is forced to choose a husband from Norman lords in William the Conqueror's court, she picks the formidable warrior Royce—and finds herself utterly unprepared for the tender heart beneath his fierce exterior. As Nicholaa sets out to bend this powerful baron to her will, she discovers that her own resolve crumbles in the face of their undeniable passion. But their newfound love becomes a dangerous luxury when the simmering conflict between Saxon and Norman threatens to tear them apart, forcing them to choose between the bonds they've forged and the loyalty they owe to their people. This is a lush medieval romance where opposites collide in the most heartfelt way.

“Create a playlist called The Prize. Dark medieval passion meets forbidden desire. Epic orchestral strings layered with moody folk, smoldering indie rock, and sensual slow burns. Think Hozier's intensity, Bon Iver's longing, and cinematic drama. Tension, vulnerability, and fierce devotion wrapped in shadow and candlelight.”
