Ondine

HE SAVED HER WITH CHIVALRY, HE LOVED HER WITH SAVAGERY- SHE LURED HIM TO ECSTASY

When handsome Lord Chatham rescued the golden-haired Ondine from England's gallows, he demanded only one thing in return . .. her hand in marriage. In gratitude, Ondine consented to his plans -- yet refused his touch.

Though his smoldering desire aroused her own secret temptations, Ondine defied her mysterious husband. Until suddenly, in the notorious court of Charles II, the sapphire-eyed beauty was plunged into a web of danger and desire, jealousy and romance. As secrets exploded, and swords clashed in vengeance, the strangers in marriage became partners in passion, and lovers on fire...

Ondine, once a pampered lady, becomes an innocent pawn in a terrible game of power and influence that ends in her being condemned to death, and she is rescued by the vengeful Lord Chatham, who needs a wife for his own purposes.
