FALLENOn the eve of her profession as a nun, Lady Graeye Charwyck is called home to Medland by the father who disavowed her years earlier for the "devil's mark" she bears. Desperate to escape the convent, she agrees to wed a man she detests to provide an heir for her family's holdings. But when the king declares the Charwyck lands forfeit and awards them to their enemy, Graeye once more finds herself discarded. Grieved by her father's plans to return her to the convent, she yields to impulse and casts aside her virtue, only to discover that the knight with whom she sinned is the new lord of Medland. RELENTLESSBaron Gilbert Balmaine is a man eaten through with desire to see the end of the Charwyck line for all the ills the family has visited upon his own. With the heir dead, the only remaining survivor too aged to beget another, and their lands forfeited for the atrocities committed against the Balmaines, light lies ahead--until Gilbert learns there is a daughter. And his world darkens further when he realizes she is the one who, on a starry night, tempted him past temptation. Certain she intended to trap him into marriage, he vows he will not rest until she is back within the walls of her abbey. Now if only he can forget her... If only that night did not have such far-reaching consequences...
This one is worth reading. Perhaps not as exciting as the previous one, Warrior Bride, but still very satisfying.
METHINKS IT'S A SUPER SCRUMPTIOUS ROMANCE TO DIE FOR !!!!!!!

I own every single 1 of Ms. Leigh's novel, so believe me when I say that here's an author that makes you buy the book by its cover. Lady Graeye Charwyck & Baron Gilbert Balmaine had unknowingly entwined their fates together when they abandoned cautions to the wind at a secluded waterfall. He's enraged when he found out that Graeye is Edward's daughter & the sister of Philip Charwyck, who was responsible for his limp (read Warrior Bride). Graeye's disastrous attempt to release her imprisoned father prodded Gilbert to return her to the abbey, despite the undeniable desire pulling upon his barricaded heart. When an unexpected dilemma came up, Gilbert kidnapped her from the abbey but reluctantly agreed to Graeye's terms : she will suffer no unwanted attentions from him as long as he refuses to legitimize their love for each other. Traitors & archenemies wreaked havoc not only in their lives, but also Ranulf & Lizanne (Gilbert's sister)'s. Snappy banters, colorful heroes & heroines, extremely hot love scenes, swift story-telling & a suspenseful climax made up an exquisite medieval romance !!!!!
I LOVED IT!

THIS WAS A WONDERFUL BOOK. GRAEYE WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT. GILBERT WAS SO CAUGHT UP IN HIS PAST AGONIES THAT HE BLAMED HER. BUT THE SPARKS FLEW AND PROGRESSED THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. IT WAS A GREAT READ!
