BOOK #1

 *REISSUE/ REPUBLISH* ORIGINALLY TITLED “Master of Desire” in 2001.  All her life, Emily has had one dream-to leave her father's home and live on her own terms. Her father has other plans. But when he crosses one of the most powerful men in England, King Henry II decides the best way to keep peace is to hand Emily over as a political hostage to Draven, Earl of Ravenswood. This may be Emily's only chance to find a life for herself outside of her father's domain. Draven has known no kindness. Bred to be a warrior, he has lived his life on the battlefield as a dedicated servant to the crown. He has sworn to Henry he will place no hand on Emily. If only the lady would give him peace. Instead, she pursues him relentlessly. And with every clash, Draven finds his resolve crumbling against a woman who refuses to see him as the monster he believes himself to be.
