After the atrocities of the Crusades, Guy of Bournwood has returned home to nurse his wounds. Only the pure young woman he hears singing in the village brings him any joy. When he learns Claire is to be married, he faces the unthinkable - that another man will take her innocence. His only choice is to take her virginity himself.TO MY READER: Historians dont agree on whether medieval lords actually exercised their Droit de Siegneur, but it makes for a good story. Who could resist healing a brave knight whos been wounded in body and soul?ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Alice Gaines has been writing erotic romance since its beginning with Secrets, Volume 1.

Beyond that, the landscape lay hidden in shadows, but if she squinted, her fathers plot came into view. Their cottage stood at one end. Her parents and sisters would find their beds soon so they could rise with the sun in the morning to work the fields. Were they fearing for her now? And what of Tom? Alone in his room at the mill.

No one had ever called her anything like that before. He said it so softly, as if crooning to a babe.She could have turned around to study him, but that would bring her too close to him. Even at her back, his size overpowered her. Shed never stood this near to a man except for her father and Tom. As different as they were from her own body, they didnt mark foreign territory the way Guy did. Maybe once shed known him intimately, shed feel different. Now, the trembling returned.He rubbed her arms-the first time hed touched except for taking her hand briefly to lead her from the bailey into the great hall. Did intimacy begin this way? Would kisses follow and then the penetration her mother had told her of? If only she knew what to expect. She could fight off the fear if she had the knowledge.He turned her slowly so that she stood in a light embrace. The tips of her breasts grazed his chest.
