Twelve years ago, when she was a child, Juliana was wed to Sebastian, the Earl of Langlinais. Since then she has been living in a convent. Now she finds herself faced with meeting him again. Only this time it is to be his wife in every sense of the word. Being sheltered all her life, Juliana has no idea what to do with a man as virile and powerful as Sebastian. She is fascinated with him right up to the point of him asking her to go against everything she holds true.

Sebastian was held prisoner in Cyprus by the Templar for a year. Thanks to his brother, he was ransomed out at a very high price. Now Sebastian is tangled in his brother's wicked plots and is forced to turn to his virgin bride for help.

Sebastian intended to keep his wife in name only. However, he never counted on being mesmerized by the beauty of the angel she had become. Unfortunately, he doesn't dare tell her the reason that their love can never be.

Ranney has written a story of family betrayal, Templar obedience, hidden passion, and hidden treasure. Juliana must adjust to life outside the convent. But, things aren't always as it seems. Ranney kept me turning the pages with her writing; something new at each corner. You can't miss with this book.
