Bound and restrained as he is, Guy is determined that this Cornish enchantress will not slip through his grasp once she has stolen her pleasure from him - he desires her more than any woman before. Isolde's past, though, contains a dark and terrible secret that threatens to consume her entirely, threatening to thwart both their plans...
