Certain only her silence can save her people from retaliation, she holds close the dark truth about his death.

And expose the innocent heart beneath her Saxon pride.
UNFORGIVEN

But when Rhiannyn of Etcheverry is at his mercy, she continues to protect the rebel leader to whom she was once betrothed. Though breathtakingly lovely, she refuses to use her wiles against Maxen, instead disarming him with her sharp tongue, strong will, and a selflessness that unexpectedly stirs his ignoble heart. Might the cursed beauty be the death of him? Or could she prove his redemption?

This is one of the best books I’ve ready in a while – so many twists and turns to the end.
Loved it! The struggle, the characters, the setting…I loved it all.
Enjoyed easy and quick read
This book is fast paced and interesting in the beginning, unfortunately it slows down. I am not saying it was boring or I regretted the time I spent in their world. I do not. The heroine is strong and smart, mostly. And there is an happily ever after for her and the hero.
I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter and page of this beautiful story of love winning over hatred. Great, believable characters with complex temperaments in challenging situations. A great medieval read.
one of my favorite authors. all books in this series are good. Clean Read. No Language and G rate love scenes.
