Matthew and Branwen have nothing in common. One was raised as a noble, the other is a poor villager. He is determined to resist the temptation women present, while she would like nothing more than to be free of men's attention. He is English, she is Welsh.

Yet between them the attraction is immediate.

How will they cope with what they feel? Giving in could spell danger, as Matthew is convinced the dark-haired beauty has been sent by an enemy to lure him into a trap. He cannot afford to fall for her until he knows what her motives really are.

When past hurts and secret yearnings are revealed, they will discover they have more in common than they thought. Will it be enough to overcome the obstacles in their way?
