About this listen

Deceptively fragile-looking, Eleanore of Ashlin had promised her life to God...until fate intervened. With her brother's untimely death, Eleanore - known as Elf to those who love her - becomes the heiress of an estate vital to England's defenses. She is ordered by royal command to wed one of the king's knights rather than take her final vows. With resistant heart, but ever obedient to King Stephen's will, she complies.

Ranulf de Glandeville is all too aware that his innocent bride wants no man; yet his patience, gentle hand, and growing love for his spirited young wife soon awaken Eleanore to passions she never knew, or desired...until now.

But their love is not secure from the wicked schemes of an evil woman who hates Eleanore with all her black heart - and she will seek to destroy the innocent in a depraved plot that will put Eleanore's life in jeopardy and her faith in love to its greatest test....

Contains mature themes.

Awesome

Beatrice Small has such a lovely way with words. I really enjoyed this book. I find she has a way of captivating my interests and keeping it right to the very end. A very well written book as always. Thank you

OK

Well written as all of Bertrice Small's books but too much everyday happenings and not enough plot. Not as much erotica considering some of hers which is disappointing but what is there is well detailed and stimulating
