Her marriage was arranged. Her death might be too.
Whisked off to the wilds of Yorkshire in an arranged marriage, Lady Madelyn strives to make her dreams of love come true. She soon learns her husband, the Lord of Montrose, scarred during his stint in the King's service, suffers even deeper wounds from the suicide of his first wife a decade ago. Isolated in an ancient manor on the moors, in a land rife with myths and legends, Madelyn discovers a curse that has hovered over the house for centuries; a curse that threatens all brides who dare to love a Lord of Montrose.
Julian, Lord of Montrose, is a man as impregnable as the walls of his ancient manor. A stoic warrior whose goal is to secure an heir for his beloved estate, he vigilantly guards his heart. But the lure of his new wife is impossible to resist. Despite his efforts, their partnership evolves into a searing passion neither can withstand.
Just as Madelyn sees her dreams becoming reality, she falls victim to a series of accidents. All around her are characters who would benefit from her demise, in a house plagued with secrets from the past. She wants the future.
Can Madelyn break the bloody curse before it claims her as its next victim? Will true love conquer all? Or will she too follow her unfortunate predecessor and become the next chapter in the legend of the Montrose brides.
