Deceptively fragile-looking, Eleanore of Ashlin had promised her life to God...until fate intervened. With her brother's untimely death, Eleanore - known as Elf to those who love her - becomes the heiress of an estate vital to England's defenses. She is ordered by royal command to wed one of the king's knights rather than take her final vows. With resistant heart, but ever obedient to King Stephen's will, she complies.
Ranulf de Glandeville is all too aware that his innocent bride wants no man; yet his patience, gentle hand, and growing love for his spirited young wife soon awaken Eleanore to passions she never knew, or desired...until now.
But their love is not secure from the wicked schemes of an evil woman who hates Eleanore with all her black heart - and she will seek to destroy the innocent in a depraved plot that will put Eleanore's life in jeopardy and her faith in love to its greatest test....
Contains mature themes.

I love historical romances & have read quite a few medieval ones... this is the only one where the author has made the heroine a CHILD!
She's FOURTEEN & he's THIRTY... that's paedophilia!
I get that they were different times & such matches might've been common, but this is not biographical & the author should've made her 18 at the very least.
Most medieval books I've read the heroine is at least over 20.
The author put her in a convent... there was absolutely no reason that the author couldn't have started the events after the child was at the very least eighteen.
Bad enough that the author sexualises a FOURTEEN year old by writing that GROWN men found her so appealing, but she decided to write a near rape scene as well as a child bride.
Creepy as hell that a 30 year old man got aroused by a child... that was my limit!
I kept hoping that the author would've found some reason for him to go away for a few years at least until she was of age, but it seemed like she was gonna write a paedophilic sex scene... & HELL NO! Not for me...
Which is a real shame as it is a well written book... the little I listened to... but, oh well!
Couldn't finish
