  England, 1571
  
  A brief but passionate flirtation with the dashing Sir Robert Erroll had
  Margaret Clifford dreaming they would be wed—until Robert left for the
  continent without a word, breaking her heart.

  Christmas morn, to have melted the ice that has built up around Meg’s
  heart....
