From the shelter of St. Swithin's Abbey, Meg Redclift misses her sister Gabriella, and fears the bride-to-be has met with danger. But the world's uncertainties visit the abbey when a handsome, wounded knight appears-and Meg finds herself overwhelmingly attracted as she restores the stranger to health. If only he could remember who he is...

Left with no idea of his attacker's identity-or his own-Gresham Sedgewick fears his shadowed past may be dishonorable, and fights his powerful desire for lovely Meg. But when they are forced to flee the abbey, Gresham is plunged into an urgen quest with the woman who is his greatest temptation-and perhaps his salvation. Dodging deadly assaults, Gresham must trust his warrior instincts and the passion in his heart to find the freedom to give himself completely to his lady wayward.
