His family slaughtered in far-off China, young Jacob Cato found sanctuary in a Xi Lin temple. There he healed and learned to be strong.

Now, Jacob wishes to join his care-takers as a full member of the temple and is told he must first make peace with his English heritage.

At Evelyn Stanton's wedding, the bald-headed Chinese monk striding down the Norman church's center aisle was the first shock. Watching that man dispatch three groomsmen, unarmed, then learning he was the long-lost heir to the Earldom of Warhaven and the new groom, was the second.

But Evelyn Stanton isn't the typical blushing bride. A fully realized woman, she isn't about to marry the very non-English Jacob Cato just because she was betrothed to him when she was six.

At the sight of the very beautiful and very English bride meant for him, Jacob's body begins to burn with passion as the past he thought forgotten takes form and new goals emerge. The murder that slaughtered his family and left him for dead must pay. His lawful English heritage will be claimed and he will have the woman who is rightfully his.

Jacob Cato had come to make peace. How that peace would come, is about to be decided.
