About So Speaks the Heart

Born a wealthy French heiress but betrayed into bondage, 17 year old Brigitte de Louroux swears she will never be any man's slave. Rugged and powerful 24 year old Rowland of Montville sees only a beautiful enchantress in peasant's rags -- a wench to serve his every need. Defenseless against his unbridled passions, Brigitte is forced to yield her innocence to desires the warrior lord arouses in her heart. But her surrender will vanquish the handsome knight - awakening within him a love as mighty and relentless as his conquering sword.
