In this inspiring medieval romance, a Norman warrior will do anything to protect a Saxon woman and her darling child. Baron Stephen de Bretonne's sworn duty is to serve the king—and that means finding the Saxons plotting against the throne by any means necessary. Protecting a Saxon woman and her half-Norman child is merely a means to that end. But the lovely Rowena proves to be more than just a pawn in his plan. And his growing admiration for her could be his ruin. While Rowena must begrudgingly accept Norman protection for herself and her baby, she knows better than to trust any man. And yet, as Stephen bravely guards her and her child, she finds herself ready to open her heart to him.
