Uncommon Vows
Mary Jo Putney
Lady Meriel de Vere had deceived Adrian, Earl of
Shropshire. Standing in the royal forest, her falcon
perched on her arm, she boldly claimed to be a Welsh
commoner, not a noble Norman. Lord Adrian beheld in wonder
her raven-black hair and defiant blue eyes, heard her lies,
and felt a dark, primeval passion rob him of all reason. In
one irrevocable move of fate, he ordered this fair beauty
locked in his castle's tower, vowing to entice her into
surrendering her kisses with lips as hungry as his own.
Never to give in, to die if she must, was Meriel's
vow...until one rash moment of impetuousness swept them
both up in the royal battles of kings...and into a
dangerous intrigue of sweet caresses...and fiery, all-
consuming love.
