"Read this just for the pleasure，" says Romantic Times of Jill Barnett s last luscious romance， Carried Away. Her marvelous talent for enchanting stories laced with sensuality is always a delight， and never more so than in this thirteenth-century tale of a brave knight who returns to the Welsh border to claim -- and tame -- his bride， or so he thinks.... After too many years on the battlefield， Merrick de Beaucourt is looking forward to a simple life of peace and quiet with a docile wife at his side. But when he finally fetches his bride-to-be from a secluded English convent， he finds he needs more than his knight s spurs to bring order to his life. When she was betrothed at fifteen to the legendary English knight she had never met， Lady Clio of Camrose believed that love was something magical. But her youthful hopes faded as she languished in a convent for six long years， never hearing a word from Merrick. Weary of war， Lord Merrick finds little peace guarding the wild Welsh borders， and even less with the wife whose trust he destroyed. But as Lady Clio comes to understand the dark knight she so blindly wed， she sees a chance to make her dreams come true. Amid the enchanted mists that envelop Camrose Castle， they will battle together to discover a place where all things are possible， even a love that is rare and wonderful.
