Losing the twenty-first century was bad enough, but Martha Bigalow's situation is about to become a whole lot worse...

Only days after her marriage to Vadim—a handsome outlaw stalked by grim shadows of the past—she is captured by his nemesis, the evil Earl of Edgeway.

While awaiting her fate in a dank dungeon beneath Edgeway's castle, Anselm—Vadim’s twisted foster brother—offers her a way out, an alternative to a tortuous and painful death.

Forced into a life of deceit, Martha discovers friendship where she least expects to find it, even within the stronghold of the enemy, and by the time war descends on Edgeway, the boundary between black and white—friend and foe—is less distinct.

As the castle braces itself for a bitter siege, Martha's loyalty is divided, her love for Vadim tested to its limit... and may even prove to be yet another casualty of war.
