Anne Herries Livres

Angleterre, 1189 Rosamund est en pleine confusion. La voilà retenue prisonnière dans ce château isolé par Raphael de Mornay, aujourd’hui devenu un baron redouté dans tout le pays. Qu’est devenu le chevalier secourable de son enfance ? Il ne semble même pas se souvenir d’elle. Les croisades l’ont-elles donc si profondément changé ? Attristée, Rosamund n’a pourtant d’autre choix que d’accepter le joug de Raphael, si elle veut se protéger. Car, orpheline et sans appui dans une Angleterre en plein chaos, elle deviendrait très vite la proie des autres seigneurs. Seulement, voilà, c’est beaucoup plus qu’un simple joug que Raphael exige : il exige des… fiançailles ! Qu’elle soit à la fois sa captive et sa promise… Rosamund ne sait que penser des véritables intentions de cet homme si secret. L’aime-t-il ? Ou bien ne cherche-t-il qu’à satisfaire l’attirance fulgurante et réciproque de leur première rencontre ?…
