Meliora, a mere servant girl, never dreamed the handsome, black-haired Lord of the castle would ever be interested in someone like her. Possibly as a mistress to bed while he searched for a suitable wife, but never someone he could truly love.
One look at the beautiful and exotic Meliora bathing in the river and Ranulf was completely smitten. But as an Earl he has responsibilities and rules to follow. Falling in love and marrying a servant girl from a foreign land was not something that would be accepted or even allowed.
Will their love be enough to keep them together or will Ranulf be forced to give up everything he's ever known to be with the woman he loves?
