Drawn to the Beast by Cate Melville

The king’s most feared knight.
A noblewoman in mourning.
A shared past that could rip them apart.

Widowed, and believing herself barren, the last thing Cicele de Grenville wants is another loveless marriage. As she waits by her father’s deathbed she is informed that he has arranged for her to be married by proxy to an unknown knight. To her horror she soon leans that her new husband is the man who, several years earlier, almost destroyed her life. With little choice she agrees to the marriage, but vows never again to succumb to the passionate attraction that left her heart broken and bleeding.

Guyon le Loup needs a wife. Not just any wife, but a wife who’s name, and title, will give him the legitimacy he craves. There is just one problem—the woman King Henry has chosen is the very woman Guyon betrayed. He has never forgotten the golden-eyed beauty who stole his heart, but he knows it will take more than the memory of their shared passion to persuade the lovely Lady Cicele to trust him again.

But Guyon also hides a terrible secret, that if revealed, might destroy his last chance to redeem his past, and settle old scores.

Drawn to the Beast is a second chance romance filled with delicious conflict, a reluctant heroine, and an attraction that refuses to be ignored.
