Blurb:: FROM THE ASHES OF DEFEAT

Lady Alys Wolveston was left without protection in an English countryside reeling from the penultimate battle of the bloody Wars of the Roses. When Sir Nicholas Merios appeared to take her to the court of the conquering king, the proud beauty bristled at the arrogant control of the triumphant Welsh warrior.

As the newlyweds' fascination with each other grew, sinister political intrigues cast a shadow over the sweetness of newfound intimacy. Now Alys must choose between love and loyalty as the dictates of duty clash with her heart's desire . . .
