== Book Description ==
Judith McNaught's second story in the Westmoreland saga is a prequel to her bestseller, [[Whitney, My Love]], retelling the love story of the first Duke of Claymore. Set in Medieval times, Jennifer Merrick is the courageous and strong daughter of a Scottish laird, wishing to be in her father's good graces so that she may look after the Merrick clan in the future. Lord Merrick, however, intends to pass his legacy on to one of his step-sons, most probably Alexander, an evil, manipulating warrior who has "helped" Jennifer be shunned from her own bloodline. Alexander and his youngest brother, Malcolm, have always been nefarious and cruel, and Jennifer never tries to get through to them. The only people she really can talk to are William, Alexander and Malcolm's brother, and William's sister, Brenna.

Jennifer and Brenna are abducted from their convent by their father's archrival, Royce Westmoreland, known as "The Wolf." Jennifer stands her ground as a Scot and refuses to submit to "The Wolf," whose actions on the battle field precede his ruthless character and notorious reputation as a warrior of no morals. Royce is at odds with Jennifer, impressed by her sheer determination to fight back and aggravated at how she openly defies him. As Jennifer clings on to hope that William and her Merrick clan will come and rescue her, the relationship she has with Royce turns into more than hatred, and has Jennifer dealing with emotional turmoil over a man. As the story unfolds, Judith McNaught's tale of a love in medieval times keeps readers captivated, as they fall in love with two people, who have a forbidden Medieval times relationship, but still unconsciously fight to stay together and let their love survive.

Growing up in a small town in Florida, Sloan Reynolds has learned to fend for herself by taking care of her mother and herself without much money to get around. Now, as a police officer for the city, she works with the same take-no-prisoners attitude, standing up to her demanding boss, who will not see past the fact that Sloan's one of the few women in the police department. That doesn't stop Sloan from doing her best or outdoing her fellow comrades in her job.

However, when FBI Agent Paul Richardson asks Sloan for her help in finding out secrets about her long-estranged father, Sloan agrees and goes to Miami, where she meets her father and Paris, the glamorous sister she's never spoken to or cared to know about. As she confronts her past and digs deeper into the mystery behind her father, she also starts falling for businessman Noah Maitland, who Paul says could be connected to her father's illegal business transactions, and every move she makes must be carefully made or her world will come crashing down around her.

Zack Benedict is a renowned film star and director who has survived through sheer determination and will, without help from the outside. He has a rather hard exterior and personality, as a result.
Julie Mathison grew up in foster homes and on the streets for several years until the Mathison family adopted her and helped her turn her life around for the better. Now, she gives back to the community who changed her life by teaching children with warmth and hospitality, but with a fierceness to help her students strive to do better.

When Zack ends up in jail wrongfully accused of murder, he languishes there for five years, before making a daring escape. In his attempt to escape, he ends up crossing paths with Julie and takes her hostage. They end up driving to a mountain hideaway, where Zack stays, finally free of something society wrongfully accuses him of. Julie is trapped with Zack, but refuses to be scared or obedient. Her life has been shattered by this turn of events, but as they spend more time together, Zack's innocence in the crime becomes more believable to Julie, and their relationship will become more intense than they ever thought possible in Judith McNaught's wonderful romance novel.

Sheridan Bromleigh makes a journey from America to England as a paid escort to one of her students, heiress Charise Lancaster. But she encounters a problem right before she docks - Charise has run away with another man aboard the ship. Charise was supposed to be handed over to her fiancé, Lord Burleton, and Sheridan is mortified of what could happen next.

It turns out Lord Burleton died the night before they docked in England, in an accident. Stephen Westmoreland, Earl of Langford, came to inform Lord Burleton's fiancée of his accidental death. As Sheridan steps off, Stephen addresses Lord Burleton's sudden death to her, believing she is Charise Lancaster. Before Sheridan could clear up the misunderstanding, she is hit by a precariously swinging net of crates!

Stephen takes her back to his house to recuperate, only to find out when she wakes up that she has no memory of her past. As Sheridan tries to discover who she is, she slowly develops a love for the Earl of Langford, but keeps it to herself when she thinks the feeling is not reciprocated, not knowing Stephen is slowly developing a love for her, as well.
