As a dreamy fourteen-year-old with a penchant for minstrel tales, Aislinn deTalby took one look at Roger Montclaire at their betrothal feast and vowed to love him forever. A few years later, Roger is dead and Aislinn is forced to marry his younger brother, Garrett. The reserved, scholarly Garrett cannot compare to the golden knight of Aislinn’s cherished dreams. A skilled weaver, but unable to read or write, she spurns both Garrett and his scholarly pursuits.
As artistic temperament and intellect collide, Garrett retreats to his books while Aislinn begins a new tapestry designed to taunt him with her love for his dead brother. Drawn together by a series of mysterious attacks on their estates, they discover intriguing qualities about each other, and although they both deny it, a growing physical attraction. Aislinn and Garrett discover the threads of love binding them together are stronger than any chains others can devise.
