Romance Historical
Abigail d'Alene has been sinfully in love with learning
all her life, and as a widow, she now has the means and
freedom to indulge in her passion. Pretending to be
Abelard, a fifteen-year-old boy from an outlying village,
she heads to the Latin Quarter of Paris and the abbey
schools that will one day change the world. Shocked by her
ineptitude at masquerading as a boy, Alain of Huntly Woods
takes the young "Abelard" under his protection until she
recovers her sense and goes home. But her audacity,
intelligence and refusal to compromise spark enough
friction between them to burn through his cold logic and
carefully laid plans.
In Paris as a spy for Henry II, Alain has sold his soul to
the Angevin devil in exchange for the king's promise of an
heiress, land and power. As his good intentions bring him
unexpected passion, he struggles to find a way to have it
all. Then he discovers Abigail's uncle, confessor to King
Louis VII of France, plots against the English king, and
Alain must choose between protecting his king or the woman
he loves beyond all reason.
