He had but to raise a brow and all acceded to his wishes. Gilles D'Argent alone ruled Hawkwatch Castle. The formidable baron consider love to be a jongleur's game - until he met the beguiling Emma. With hair spun of gold and eyes filled with intelligence, she bound him to her. And the powerful knight sought what could not be demanded , but must be given freely: her love.
Her innocence stolen away in the blush of youth, Emma Aethelwin no longer believed in love. Reconciled to her life as a penniless weaver, she little expected to snare the attention of Gilles D'Argent. At first Emma denied the tenderness of the warrior's words and the passion he stirred within her. But as desire wove a tangible web around them, the resulting pattern told a tale of love and she dared to dream she could be the lady of his heart as her was the master of hers.
