Candle in the Window
by Christina Dodd
Two lovers ignite a world of darkness with a wild, breathless passion.
Lady Saura of Roget lived a lonely life of servitude, her fortune controlled by her unscrupulous stepfather, until she was summoned to the castle of Sir William of Miraval. The magnificent knight had once sworn to live or perish by the sword. But that was before his world was engulfed in agonizing darkness.
They came together in a blaze of passion; the raven-haired maiden and the golden warrior who laid siege to her heart. Yet danger awaited them just beyond the castle walls. Saura and William soon found themselves fighting for their lives, even as they surrender to an all-consuming love.
Originally published April 1991 in mass market paperback by HarperCollins.
CANDLE IN THE WINDOW was the first book I ever published. More than that, at every autographing I hear, "My favorite book of all the books you've written is CANDLE IN THE WINDOW." Mind you, I have now published over thirty novels, and I can get a little testy about being told my first book was my best, but CANDLE did win Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award (when I was unpublished) and the RITA award (after it was published) and almost every award in the business. And I love the story myself. After all, that's why I wrote it.
It seems a mighty warrior, Sir William, was blinded in battle, and his father, Lord Peter, found him someone who could force him out of his depression and teach him how to function in the world. What William doesn't know is that his teacher is young, beautiful---and also blind.
