Never again will a man control her life or her fate. But the shire's new sheriff is no ordinary man. Although Geoffrey FitzHenry, Lord Coudray owns the beauty of an angel--save for the scars his dead wife laid on him--it's said he's the Devil's own spawn. He proves his black heart when steals her frail son from her. To save her son she must reveal that she is with child and put herself in the sheriff's custody.

Geoffrey FitzHenry curses the law that demands all pregnant widows live as the sheriff's ward until their babes are born. Taking this coppery-haired firebrand into his sphere threatens all he seeks to protect behind the rumors of his supposed evil nature.

Editorial Reviews:

"A writer of immense power and intense emotion whose star shines brighter and brighter." ~ Romantic Times Magazine

"Denise Domning's powerful storytelling weaves another truly unforgettable tale, making AUTUMN'S FLAME an outstanding addition to the Seasons Series ... [she] leaves us mesmerized and wishing for at least five more brothers left to tell." ~ Lori Wright, Literary Times, Inc

"Fast paced, action packed, romance filled." ~ Affaire de Coeur

From the Author:

Autumn's Flame is the fourth book of the Graistan Chronicles, the stories of the FitzHenry brothers. In this book I not only got to explore both the position of the sheriff and the idea of wardenship, but to share the amazing fact that sheriffs had to witness the birthing process of all pregnant widows. Now that was something I didn't expect, yet it made perfect sense against the mindset of the time..

As far as the content of the story, the book was written while I was grieving for my son Adam, who was murdered in 1994 just after Winter's Heat was published. Although the story of his life and death is as dramatic and tragic as any I could conceive of writing, it isn't one I want to write. Suffice it to say that I am now at peace with his passing and part of that peace came out of the issues I allowed Geoffrey and Elyssa to explore in Autumn's Flame.
