To save her barony from ruin, Madeleine de la
Haute Vironge must wed one of a trio of lords
offered by King William. A shocking twist
of fate impels the convent-bred beauty into
the arms of the most dangerous of the
three--a magnificent, exciting stranger
Madeleine desires... but also fears.
Torn between familial loyalties and devotion to his king, handsome Aimery de Gaillard prowls the forest as the Golden Hart, devoted to helping the common English folk. But the beautiful young heiress he is honor bound to marry suspects his
secret, threatening his cause and his life. Yet his noble heart, hardened by mistrust, aches with passion for Madeleine's sensuous innocence-entreating the daring outlaw to surrender to the
glory, the rapture...and the peril of love.
