In a bid to halt the fighting between border neighbor Lords Draven and Hugh, King Henry Plantagenet orders Hugh to hand over his most precious possession into Draven's care - his youngest daughter Emily. Emily, a pragmatic young woman, sees this as an opportunity to secure her freedom away from her overprotective father. As Emily resides under Draven's roof for a year as the king's ward, she is determined to entice the solemn and scarred Draven into marrying her, despite his vow to never wed. Draven, a warrior with a dark past, struggles to keep his distance from Emily, as he fights against his own nature that longs to claim her for his own.
