Reina's cerulean eyes blazed with scorn as fell upon the golden giant who stood before her. This was the knight Ranulf, her kidnapper, who was pledged to deliver her into the worst kind of bondage -- marriage to the craven Lord Rothwell.But Reina was no acquiescent girl to accept fate's whim. To save herself from the union being forced upon her, she offered Ranulf a bargain -- 'Become my husband yourself. In exchange for protection, I will make you a great lord.'
The nuptial bed was not intended to be part of the bargain. But the haughty Ranulf soon made it clear that he would accept no marriage of convenience -- 'Come to me of your own free will -- or I will take you!'
