'She would never be married...But she remembered the cravings of her body for this man... She felt them still as he touched her, awakening within her feelings that she must forever suppress if she were to be in control of her life. Should she submit to this one weakness, this one night? One night in which to indulge herself, to explore herself, before closing down that side of her forever...'
It is the year 1213 and Lady Angelique Gresham is a wealthy widow who is determined to remain free of the cruelty and control of marriage. Angelique has arranged to buy her freedom from the King and is awaiting his envoy to pay the last installment when her first and only love returns, wanting to marry her.
Sir Guy, a noble but impoverished knight, wants three things: land, peace and Angelique. But it's Angelique he wants the most. She refuses to marry him but he tempts her with a night of passion in which she can realize her fantasies for the first and last time before she leaves for a remote northern castle. But is one night enough for Angelique to find the strength to trust not only Guy, but her own heart?
Passion, hot enough to scorch the icy flints of a medieval castle, contained within.
Awakening his Lady was previously published as Awakening, book 3 in the Gresham Chronicles.
