Wonderful intrigue. A man is found, beaten to a bloody pulp, outside Morwenna's castle, and the only thing identifying him is a ring on his finger suggesting he might be Carrick of Wybren, who loved & left Morwenna for his sister-in-law, and reputedly set fire to Wybren, killing his entire family.

While he's in the castle, unconscious, someone's creeping around hidden passageways spying on the inhabitants, and someone (else?) has started a grisly series of murders. There are a lot of twists and turns, and so many people who might be the killer. My only quibble was that the romance itself wasn't all that fleshed out, but the rest of the story was so good, I didn't really care.

Entertaining but fairly predictable medieval historical story with a man brought into a castle with a lot of injuries and the lady falling in love with the injured man while she nurses him back to health, there's also mistaken identity and a few predictable twists.
