"Set against the turbulent years of the Wars of the Roses, this book tells the story of the arranged marriage of Robert Morland and Eleanor, ward of the powerful Beaufort family. Robert adores her, but her secret passion is for Richard, Duke of York."
"After Edward Morland forces his son, Robert, into an arranged marriage with Eleanor, who is a ward of a wealthy family, the pair eventually find a connection with each other as they try to survive a brutal civil war that is creating a rift between families and neighbors."
"The year is 1434. Seeking power and prestige, ambitious Yorkshireman Edward Morland arranges a marriage between his meek son Robert and the spirited Eleanor, young ward of the influential Beaufort family. Eleanor is appalled at being forced to marry a mere 'sheep farmer'. And besides, she is secretly in love with Richard, Duke of York. Yet in time, this apparently ill-matched union becomes both passionate and tender, the foundation of the Morland 'dynasty', and sustains them through bloody civil war which so often divides families, sets neighbour against neighbour, and brings tragedy close to home."
