Wales 1857

David Harrell, the Marquess of Monfort, loathed men who took advantage of the weak, yet the word weak hardly described Morgana Penrys, the fiery-haired schoolteacher with the tart tongue. He was supposed to be her protector, but her strength and determination made Morgana fair game.

Although the Marquess had changed her life for ever, Morgana knew that they were worlds apart. She tried to spurn his advances; still, they both knew that he filled her dreams with longings that were painful to remember - and impossible to forget.
