Publisher's summary

England, 1308. Three noblemen secretly gather to ally against their treacherous lord. But though each is elevated to a baron in his own right and given a portion of his lord's lands, jealousy and reprisals lead to a 25-year feud, pitting family against family, passing father to son.

England, 1333. The chink in Baron Boursier's armor is his fondness for a lovely face. When it costs him half his sight and brands him as one who abuses women, he vows to never again be "blinded" by beauty. Thus, given the choice between forfeiting his lands and wedding one of his enemies to end their feud, he chooses as his betrothed the lady said to be plain of face, rejecting the lady rumored to be most fair.

On the eve of the deadline to honor the king's decree of marriage, the fair Elianor of Emberly takes matters into her own hands. Determined none will suffer marriage to the man better known as The Boursier, she sets in motion her plan to imprison him long enough to ensure his barony is forfeited. But when all goes awry and her wrathful enemy compels her to wed him to save his lands, she discovers he is either much changed or much maligned. And the real enemy is one who lurks in their midst. One bent on keeping the feud burning.

Wonderful!

I love anything that Tamara Leigh writes and anything that Mary Sarah Agliotta narrates! What a perfect pair! Loved this first book in the series. This is my second time reading and I’m surer there will be more times.

Listen and repeat

I have listened to this series at least 3x
It has a lot going on. A lot of characters which are well developed but sometimes difficult to keep up with. Audio made it easier and Mary Sarah agliotta never disappoints with bringing each character to life.

Easy one of my favorite audio.

Great story! It continues in the next book passing the baton to the next couple.

I loved these characters! You can clearly picture these people! They remind me we are all human. That change through faith in God is not only possible but imminent when your faith comes out in your actions. Pronounced Bay-r is an example of this. Regardless of what Elinor did he was still ready to do all he could & pray for help to make the best, the very best in a situation. And God always, always gives us so much more than we ask for. I think the way the story is written it makes that clear. The plot is amazing, with the best secrets! So good. And the genealogy! Many names are recognized in this book. If you have listened to the conquer series you will recognize the posterity in this book. Bay-r is a descendant of pronounced Vitaleese. Who is a Saxon rebel leader in the conquest series, and there are more to find. Hint: they are in the same vein as their ancestors from the conquest series.

A great listen or read!

I used both audible and kindle for this book! Enjoyed the story very much! Narrator did a great job, and the story is true romance! You immediately love both main characters and feel apart of the intense roller coaster their affections soon to turn love is in. Great ending, snuck up to fast!

Mistaken identity, married to the woman who tried to murder him, what else could go wrong?

He showed up to wed the widow as decreed by the king. She tried to murder him Instead of marriage. Could they make the marriage or alliance work? The feudal society lords and ladies were wed by royal decree to create political alliAnces. It was up to the couple to make it work or not. A challenge in the days of no divorce when women had no rights. An intriguing look back In History when life decisions were made for them Instead of by them. A well researched novel narrated by Mary Sarah Agliotta, masterfully done. The narration added much to the novel's telling,, making the experience deeper and adding to the understanding of the era. I will follow this author and narrator.
