A powerful spinster, a lonely woman, and a hunky knight are front in center in this gripping tale of passion, meddling, betrayal, and truest of loves. It's Douglas de Lohr's turn to shine! As the fifth son of the Earl of Hereford and Worcester, one of the most powerful men in the realm, Douglas has his share of power and prestige also. Rather than linger in his father's mighty shadow, or even the shadow of his important older brothers, Douglas is about to carve a path for himself that will either shatter his will to live... or make him the most impressive de Lohr son yet. It all begins when his father asks Douglas to go to the aid of the sister of an old friend, to an enormous castle in Devon where legends live and chaos reigns. Lady Isabella de Fortibus is the sister in question, the heiress to the Earldom of Devon and mistress of mighty Tiverton Castle. A spinster all her life, she rules Tiverton with an iron fist until a medical emergency renders her an invalid. There are wolves at her door. She has requested that her brother's old friend, Hereford, send help and it comes in the form of Douglas. But he walks into a strange, new world. Another member of this strange world has been battling danger herself. Lady Misery Elizabeth Ruth de Amada has been at Tiverton since childhood. Sent to the castle along with her twin brother, Payne, the de Amada children have been part of Lady Isabella's world for many years. Lady Isabella looks upon Misery, or Mera as she is known, as her own daughter. It is Mera who helps Douglas gain his bearings in a castle that has only known instability as of late. But there is a danger at Tiverton that focuses on Douglas the moment he arrives and Mera is in the crosshairs. Join Douglas and Mera in a complex tale where a de Lohr son must learn to use his own claws wisely as Isabella and Mera are swept up into a deadly situation. Douglas falls for Mera as Isabella falls for Douglas. Complicating the situation is a living danger that would like to see both women, and Douglas, dead. Can Douglas save the woman he loves? Or will the woman who loves him become his sacrifice? It's an edge-of-your-seat ride in this epic de Lohr saga!
