      Wed by royal command!

      Widow Valerie of Florham wants nothing more than to forget her abusive marriage and live peacefully at the mercy of no man. She’d never have dreamed of a liaison with handsome Sir Gil Wolford, but then comes a royal decree—they must wed!

      Gil craves military conquest in Castile, far from his haunted past. Marriage to Lady Valerie is the last thing he should want, yet both have truths to hide from the rumormongers at court. They have no choice...and, once wed, the marriage bed changes everything!

      A hint of scandal this way comes!

      As Anne, Cecily and Valerie’s worlds threaten to come crashing down three men enter their lives—dashing, gorgeous, and bringing with them more danger than ever before. Suddenly these three strong women must face a new challenge: resisting the power of seduction!

       Author Note

      The monarchies of medieval Europe were a small, elite society. Kings and their families were expected to marry partners of similar stature, and such royal marriages were not expected to be love matches. They were arranged, like most medieval marriages, for reasons dynastic or financial, as heartless as a business transaction.

      Even when countries were at war a marriage between royal families could create alliances, cement peace, or allow another ruler’s family the right to a distant throne.

      But love has a way of interfering with such logical plans—for royals and for their subjects…

      After many years in public relations, advertising and marketing, award-winning author BLYTHE GIFFORD started writing seriously after a corporate lay-off. Ten years later she became an overnight success when she sold her Romance Writers of America Golden Heart® finalist manuscript to Mills & Boon. Her books, set primarily in medieval England or early-Tudor Scotland, usually incorporate real historical events and characters. The Chicago Tribune has called her work ‘the perfect balance between history and romance’.
