Once a Bride (Hamelin Family #2) by Shari Anton (Goodreads Author) 3.38 · Rating details · 84 Ratings · 6 Reviews To Eloise Hamelin of Lelleford, 'tis the stuff of nightmares: her betrothed dies on the church steps. Her beloved father disappears after being charged with treason. And the king places her home in the hands of a knight she loathes...and longs for. To Roland St. Marten, 'tis the worst hell to oversee Lelleford. Its mistress, Eloise, treats him not as her new lord but as an unwanted guest. And yet in the heat of their clashes—about her father's whereabouts, about a woman's place—he's drawn to her loyalty and her fire. Any love between them would bring Roland nothing but ruin. For how could he remain true to the king and still taste Eloise's exquisite temptation?
