The people of Alderwood, including young, lovely Lady Mary, got nothing but abuse from their last lord, Sir Benwyck of Cryll. When the King grants the estate to Sir Philip, they expect no better treatment from him, and they’re determined to see him gone—the sooner the better.

When Philip is finally forced to assert his control over the manor and its inhabitants, he gets a shocking surprise.

Philip’s got one year to show Mary the pleasures of sex to win her as his bride, to bind her with his passion…
