A Husband for Esyllt - Paperback

by Virginie Marconato (Author)

Wales, 1296, a time of turmoil.

Recently widowed, Connor Hunter, Lord Sheridan, is ordered by the king to take a Welsh wife, and sent into hostile territory to help bring the local rebels to heel.

Having lost her husband in traumatic circumstances, Esyllt has no wish to remarry. She is given no choice, however, when an English husband is chosen for her in a strategic move. Married to one of the despised invaders, she will be the instrument of his destruction.

Determined not to be used so cynically, she devises a plan to rid herself of her would-be groom before it's too late. But on the night they meet, nothing goes as planned-and distrust settles in.

How will the two strangers, whom everyone considers as enemies, overcome the huge odds stacked against them and find the happiness they crave in their forced marriage?
