description: PRISONER OF PASSION
  
  Rowena's drunken father wagered her life in a game of dice--and lost. Now, for one year, she must offer her services to the one man she feared most: Sir Gareth, the Dark Lord of Caerleon! More monster than man, Gareth had been condemned by all England for his wicked deeds. Some claimed he was a murderer... and worse.
  
  SLAVE OF SUSPICION
  
  Rowena was terrified of the darkly handsome stranger. But even a heartless rogue such as Gareth could be lulled by her beauty and spirit. The innocent girl tapped a vein of tenderness beneath his iron muscles and bitter words that belied his evil reputation. Now Rowena was falling in love, her heart torn by fiery emotions ...
  
  Was Gareth a murderer seeking vengeance? A lover whose touch she craved? Or both ...?
