On a trip back from Scotland, the ship that carries Lady Autumn is caught in a storm and is forced to dock. The dark and dreary Ravenscar Castle sits high atop the cliffs, ruled by the mighty and frightening warlord known as Ravenscar. The Lord of Ravenscar is said to be a true beast, keeping children of war as servants, and kidnapping women to be his lovers. When his liege lord falls ill and dies, Sir Benedict Grenfell assumes the identity of Ravenscar, keeping the legend of the infamous man alive. But when he falls ill next, he needs to find a healer quickly who is willing to step foot inside his castle. He hears of a lady with a miraculous healing touch whose ship has docked on his shores. He kidnaps her, bringing her to his castle, insisting she cures him of his ailment. But Lady Autumn's touch is much more than medicine to his physical body. Her presence in his life starts to heal his blackened soul as well. A dark lord and a lady of light are brought together by force, but will they stay together by choice?
