From New York Times bestselling author Jill Barnett comes a delightfully charming tale of a fair English maiden and the brave knight who falls for her.... Desperate to flee a forced marriage to the Baron Warbrooke, England's most fearsome knight, Lady Linnet of Ardenwood hires the dangerous mercenary, William de Ros, to escort her to a convent where she can wed God instead of the cruel warrior who is rumored to be the devil incarnate.
