From New York Times Bestselling author Lynn Kurland comes the medieval tale of two people with things to hide . . . Rose Kilchurn wants two things: Segrave Castle; and to never, ever again have to keep another secret. The path to the first lies through a marriage arranged for her by two kings, which she’ll accept as long as the man is manageable and she’s able to continue to arrange her life exactly as she sees fit. Only she hadn’t counted on a stranger with secrets arriving with her last two suitors . . . much less discovering how far she’s willing to go to keep him safe. Tristan de Thierry is heartily sick of living two lives: bastard in his father’s house and spy for Louis of France everywhere else. When his brother is chosen to make the journey to England to potentially wed a rich heiress, Tristan leaps at the chance to slip out of France unnoticed. Only he discovers that the fair English flower his brother has been invited to woo isn’t at all as wilted as she’s rumored to be, which leads him to thinking things he shouldn’t, namely how many secrets would he have to keep to make her his . . .
Author
Lynn began her writing career at the tender age of five with a series of illustrated novellas entitled Clinton’s Troubles in which the compelling hero found himself in all sorts of . . . well, trouble. She was living in Hawaii at the time and the scope for her imagination (poisoned fish, tropical cliffs, large spiders) was great and poor Clinton bore the brunt of it. After returning to the mainland, her writing gave way to training in classical music and Clinton, who had been felled with arrows, eaten by fish and sent tumbling off cars, was put aside for operatic heroes in tights. Somehow during high school, in between bouts of Verdi and Rossini, she managed to find time to submerge herself in equal parts Tolkien, Barbara Cartland and Mad Magazine. During college, a chance encounter with a large library stack of romances left her hooked, gave her the courage to put pen to paper herself, and finally satisfied that need for a little bit of fantasy with a whole lot of romance!
