A long satisfying story of medieval England, Knightly chivalry, intrigue and enduring love. Lots of colorful characters add to the plot of a Knight's steadfast love for his lady through her arranged marriage to an amoral, crude neighboring Lord who dispises her, the birth of her children, the Knight's years in France as a mercenary to raise money to buy land and purchase her freedom from her husband, and the fate that seems to keep them apart year after year. Lots of humorous situations, many caused by the feisty Gwennelyn as many of her antics and her stubborness try the patience of Rhys as he endeavors to claim her for his own wife.

Since childhood, Gwen of Seagrave has wanted to marry Rhys de Paegent, though she is betrothed to weak-willed Alain of Ayre. But Rhys is a landless knight with no money with which to bribe Gwens guardian into changing his plans.

No matter her desire, Gwen is compelled to marry Alain, and for the transgression of loving Gwen, Rhys is forced to serve Alain for two years as the captain of Gwens guards in payment for his own land.

Rhys serves well and gallantly. But when his time is up, he leaves to raise funds and an army to claim his lands. He promises to write Gwen and return for her with the kings permission to annul her marriage or divorce Alain.

But Rollan, Alains brother, intercepts their letters and for three years Gwen worries about Rhys while her husband continues his life without her. Upon Rhys return new problems erupt and the lovers risk everything to claim their forbidden love.

Industry reviews
Gwennelyn of Segrave entangles her childhood love, the knight Rhys de Piaget, in a desperate plot to escape her upcoming marriage to the brutal Alain of Ayre. But, in a surprising twist, the scheme fails and Rhys watches miserably as Gwen is forced to the altar. This intriguing medieval romance blends history, family relationships and humor into a love story that spans years and includes many colorful characters who become involved in Rhys's quest for the land and money he needs to buy Gwen's freedom. Against almost insurmountable odds, the lovers eventually manage to free Gwen and her children from their bondage, only to face a battle for Rhys's land. In a medieval society of cruelty, pageantry and doomed chivalry, Kurland creates a special romance between a memorable knight and his lady.
