Born of scandal, Sir Dougray of the family DArgent defies his illegitimacy by championing the oppresseduntil the prospect of winning the hand of a lady persuades him to join the Duke of Normandy in conquering Saxon-ruled England.

But among those he must bring to heel is Em, an escaped slave-turned-rebel whose suffering at the hands of a fellow Norman tempts him to reclaim the man he was before he betrayed his conscience. And captivates him though he vowed never again to fall prey to a woman. Might yet another DArgent warrior take a Saxon bride? Or will the one who made a possession of Em destroy what remains of her?
