First sentence: THE MOON CAST LONG SHADOWS OVER THE OLD STONE tower which rose three stories high and seemed to scowl down, in a tired way, at the broken and crumbling wall that surrounded it.
Description: Betrothed against her will to a knight she has never met, golden-eyed beauty Judith Revedoune finds her lifelong dream of joining a nunnery shattered. Then, on her wedding day, Judith sees bold, handsome Gavin Montgomery for the first time -- and in the first lingering kiss they share, her cool reserve melts into a fiery passion. But Gavin long ago pledged his heart to another woman, a scheming beauty who betrayed him, yet who will now do anything to possess Gavin and destroy his beloved bride."--Page [2-3] of dust jacket.
