Spirited, beautiful, and wealthy, Eloise Hamelin is shocked one day to find her father frantically preparing to leave their home. Accused of treason, he must flee and he orders Eloise to do anything necessary to save their estate, even cooperate with Roland St. Marten, the brother of her late betrothed. Sent by the King to oversee matters, Rowland had disliked Eloise at first sight. But now, as the tension surrounding her father's mysterious disappearance mounts, the sparks fly between Roland and Eloise. Her passionate and rambunctious nature that once drove him mad now only makes Roland want to help clear her father's name...and turn her growls into purrs.

Delightful medieval romance!

Format:Mass Market Paperback

The Sovereignty in the year of 1333 has charged a noble named Sir John Hamelin with treason and then holds him a prisoner. Sir John Hamelin waits in the Tower of London for the King's verdict. Sir Hamelin informs his daughter Eloise that he has not performed any of treacherous acts he is being charged of.
The Earl of Kenworth soon arrives, accompanied by a noble knight, Sir Roland St. Marten. The Knight, by the King has been ordered to handle the properties of Eloise. There is history between Eloise and the Knight. St. Marten happens to be the half-brother of Eloise's deceased fiancé who died on the church steps just prior to their wedding vows. While the Earl of Kenworth is out for revenge. Eloise summons her brother to help with their case. Sir John ultimately turns himself over to another Earl and winds up in the Tower of London.
This suspenseful medieval novel focuses on society's ease in the condemning of a loyal noble subject and the difficulty in proving one's innocence. Something not too far fetched from today's society!
Readers can easily relate to these characters: individuals plagued by love, guilt, influence, conspiracy and treason. Normally, I'm not a romance reader, but I can assure fans they will be satisfied with this underhanded plot of court intrigue. Well-done Ms. Anton!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1333 Lelleford Castle, Sir John Hamelin informs his beloved daughter Eloise that he must flee before the Earl of Kenworth arrests him for seditious acts against the king. John denies that he performed any treacherous acts informing his daughter to act normal when his "escort" arrives.
Kenworth arrives with Hugh St. Marten, half-brother to Eloise's deceased fiancé who died on the church steps just prior to their wedding vows. Hugh opposed the marriage. As Kenworth becomes angrier over John's clever escape, Eloise turns to Hugh for protection though she would prefer Satan. As they fall in love, they try to expose a nefarious plot to condemn John and make Eloise daughter to a traitor.
The story line focuses on how easily a loyal lord can be named traitor in medieval society and how difficult it is to prove your innocence even if you have royal connections. With that as a backdrop fans receive a delightful medieval romantic suspense starring two individuals besieged by love, guilt over of a recently deceased loved one, and the fears for the safety of the heroine's father. While the lead couple is undergoing a stressful relationship, sub-genre readers will appreciate this wonderful tale of court intrigue.
