In her long years at the convent, waiting for her betrothed, Lady Isobel de Turenne has built the Comte d'Aveyron into a fantasy – a man who will rescue, protect and love her... But when the Comte finally returns to claim his bride Isobel finds instead a man of contradictions – one who masks dark secrets with desire.

Wary of a man's touch, but desperate to grasp her new freedom, Isobel must decide if it's solely duty forcing the Comte to marry or whether he is truly her longed-for champion.
