Elyse of Ainsworth is used to having the run of her father’s castle. Petted and pampered, her life comes to a screeching halt as William the Conqueror’s invading armies take control.
Elyse refuses surrender, especially to the new commander of her childhood home, Robert de Brix. Robert is used to being obeyed, however, and he is determined to bow the rebellious Elyse to his will.
Elyse hides in plain sight, but Robert will stop at nothing to capture and punish her for the misery she has managed to heap upon his army. Will the vanquished become the victor, or will Robert finally win her heart?
