Lady Amalie Murray insists she will never, ever marry, even though her family is pressuring her to do so. Instead, she serves Princess Isabel and tries to hide from her demanding mother whenever the woman visits.
Despite her avowal to stay unmarried for reasons she won't disclose, Amalie can't help being attracted to the handsome man who knocked her brother down for the way he was treating Amalie. If she knew that she would soon be thrown together with the man -- who turns out to be Sir Garth Napier -- and that the attraction would grow, Amalie would have been horrified.
Unfortunately, Garth and Amalie are caught up in undercurrents being generated by a ruthless member of the royal family who is trying to rule Scotland. Amalie's curiosity and eavesdropping may have put her in serious danger.
Ms. Scott excels at creating memorable characters. Amalie will tug at your heart and you can't help but admire her spunk. Garth is a true gentleman and knight -- well, the romanticized version anyway. A good read.
A woman locked in her past and the fierce knight determined
to set her free...Amanda Scott returns readers to the
fourteenth century Scottish Borders, when men battled sword
against sword and the hills echoed with the thunder of a
thousand hooves.
Unfit for marriage? Young, fair, yet mistrustful of men,
Amalie Murray harbors a secret--one that could keep her
single for life. At the coronation of the King of Scots, she
overhears the plotting of a terrifying act...and virtually
falls into the arms of Sir Garth Napier. Moved by her
plight, Garth knows she now desperately needs
protection--especially from her own stubbornness. Their
unexpected passion and desire make Garth coax the truth out
of Amalie, and make him more determined than ever to keep
her safe. For though Amalie may be an "inappropriate bride,"
she's a woman he would gladly die for.
