Author Description

Merryn Mantel and Geoffrey de Montfort have loved each other since childhood. Once betrothed, Geoffrey leaves for the wars in France for five long years. Upon his return, the two marry and spend one blissful night consummating their love and making plans for their future. But her new husband vanishes the next day without a trace. Merryn grieves for almost seven years-and then Geoffrey returns to her-changed from the boy and man she knew and worshipped. This stranger refuses to reveal where he has been and why he stayed away for so long. Will her husband's silence create a rift too large to heal, or can Merryn and Geoffrey recapture the love they once shared?
