The Saxon Bride by Ashley York
Blurb:
In war torn England the battle lines
between Saxon and Norman are clearly drawn. The Saxons must fight for
everything they have in the hopes of winning their country back from the
Normans who are determined to break their resistance.
Rowena Godwinson, the sole remaining
member of the defeated royal family, stands proudly against the Normans that
would trample them underfoot but her nobility and grace make her an ideal
pawn in the Norman King William’s play for power with the Saxon people. When he decrees she marry a powerful Norman knight, her
subjugation appears to be complete. The handsome soldier with the
kind brown eyes and gentle touch is a threat to her determination to defy the
interlopers. Can she hold firm to her Saxon heritage and refuse to give in to
his advances?
John of Normandy wants only to prove himself
worthy of the king's trust. He is rewarded for his service and loyalty with
land, titles and a Saxon beauty for a bride. John
balks at the marriage, driven by the secret guilt of knowing Rowena's father died
by his sword. However, John's reluctance is soon replaced by a burning desire
to please this woman and win her over as well as her people.
As their people look to them for guidance and peace, can John and Rowena find a love that unites all of England?
