A legendary warrior. A mission to tame the wild Welsh Borderlands. A wild Welsh beauty. For years Teleri of the Woods, shunned by superstitious villagers, has lived her life in solitude, among the creatures of the forest. But now she must care for a man ambushed and left for dead in her woods. The same man who pursued her through the forest earlier, a knight charged by the King to establish a stronghold and build a castle. Sir Roger FitzAlan awakes to discover that none of his fabled diplomacy and skills of war will help him with his most immediate problem-a woman unlike any he's ever known and who has tied him up for safe keeping. Teleri isn't worldly or rich, but she opens his eyes to an appreciation of the world around him. And tests his honor with her inhibitions. As Roger recovers and formulates his plan for catching his would-be-murderer, he realizes his real challenge won't be taming the borderlands but taming his wild Welsh beauty. He cannot live in her world. She may not survive in his, unless she finds a way to trust this powerful warrior who threatens everything she holds dear.
