Dark Whispers

RHODARE--The peasants whispered that the Earl of Wythe's second son was the devil's child, and this darkly brooding, handsome knight was known as 'Demon Dare.' Scarred by a father's wrong and unjust scorn, rebellious Dare departed from England. Returning to Wythe to claim his birthright, he risked his honor to taste the sweet lips, to touch the silken skin of his beloved, forbidden, Alyce...

ALYCE--Her father admonished her to hide her luxuriant auburn hair beneath a wimple and to tame her independent spirit. And so she submitted...to marry a boy-child she had never seen and to live as a virgin bride. Then she felt the fire in her blood lit by Demon Dare as he demanded her heart...and her virtue was the price of his kiss. As castle Wythe's gates swing open and the hoofbeats of a black steed thunder closer, Rhodare and his Lady are carried towards the dark whispers of danger...and a glorious rendezvous with desire.
