king stops at nothing to win the fierce and lovely woman as his bride, his queen... steamy!
He was wise, strong, and brave. His destiny was to be king. She was young, beautiful, a warrior princess. Her destiny was to love him.
But when first they met, it was not as princess and king -- it was as man and woman only, consumed by a passion so sudden, so deep that the very world exploded with one kiss. Only later, with his touch still burning on her lips, did Jura discover that the knight of her secret tryst had been none other than the hated Prince Rowan! Rowan, who had returned from far-away England to usurp her brother\'s throne...Rowan, who vowed to unite the wild clans under his rule.
Furious, Jura swore her enmity to the golden-haired prince whose glorious visage tormented her days and haunted her nights. But nothing would stop Rowan from ruling over the warring tribes...and nothing would stop him from winning the fierce and lovely Jura as his bride, his Queen, his love....

A glorious story!
I really enjoyed this book, it is one of Jude Deveraux's better stories.
I was not into this book at all. I almost quit a number of times. This was not a good book of Deveraux in my opinion, but I see that some have highly praised it. I kept thinking the whole time "get on with it already". It felt like when you were in school and you had to read a book for a book report and this was the only one available.UGH! Glad others liked it.
