Darius of Faucon has been sent on a king's mission - to thwart the local smugglers and protect the widow of Thornson Keep until a husband can be found for her. A seemingly simple task for such a noble knight - until he sets eyes on Marguerite, his childhood love...and Lady of Thornson!
Though Marguerite was forced to wed another, she never let go of the passion she once shared with Darius--nor forgot the gift he unknowingly bestowed upon her. Now she must send Darius away before he discovers the truth....

J’ai adoré l’histoire; des personnages au caractère bien trempé et des opinions taillées dans la pierre, c’est bien plus qu’une historie d’amour entre Marguerite et Darius. Marguerite a vraiment aimé son défunt mari Henry et chaque fois qu’elle raconte une anecdote à propos de leurs 6 ans de vie commune Darius constate à quel point cet homme l’a aimé et l’a rendue heureuse et à quel point elle l’a aimé en retour. Le souvenir de ce mari auprès de qui elle a été si heureuse et revoir l’amour de sa vie avec qui elle a eu un enfant sans qu’il le chasse donne naissance à une histoire haute en couleur. Très bon moment de lecture.
São menos de duzentas páginas e ainda assim a leitura foi arrastada. A autora não se preocupou muito em manter um equílibrio de conflitos-resolução e no fim já estava tudo previsível que ficou entendiante.
Darius and Marguerite had exchanged vows at 15, before she was torn from him and married off to her father's chosen match. Darius spent 6 years in exile from his home. Now home after the death of his father, he is sent on the King's mission to hold the borderland castle of Thornson after its lord's death from the Scot king and route out the smugglers at work there. It turns out this is the lord Marguerite was married to. The Lady and men of Thornson walk a fine line between the 2 Kings. Darius has much to do in figuring out their loyalty and in trying to recapture his "wife". A decent medieval romance.
