Seeking vengeance on the lord who robbed him of his birthright, Sir Alexander DeFrouchette set out to steal his enemy's bride and, in his haste, carried off the wrong lady! Now it would be far too dangerous to release the exquisite Lady Isabelle - whose sister was the true captive he sought. This bold, spirited hellion has enchanted him, and Alexander longs to tame her and taste the sweetness of her kiss. But she is related to his hated foe, and the noble knight will never know Isabelle's love until she offers it willingly - and this she dares never to do. Gallant knights are supposed to protect fair maidens - not kidnap them! Yet here is Lady Isabelle, a prisoner of Sir Alexander, who is strong, virile, handsome, everything she ever dreamed of in a man. But proud, fiery Isabelle will never succumb to force - no matter how powerfully he inflames her passion or how quickly her heart beats when he's near.
