Growing up behind the impenetrable walls of an English fortress, Magdalen does not know that she is the illegitimate daughter of a powerful English prince and his murdered French mistress -- or that she has been a pawn in the struggle between England and France ever since she slipped from her dying mother's womb. All she knows is that she longs for excitement. Then one day, as if in answer to her prayers, Guy de Gervais, a true knight in shining armor, rides into her cloistered world and spirits her away.
For Magdalen, it is love at first sight -- the one and only love of her life. Yet Guy sees only his responsibility to keep Magdalen safe until she can be wed to his nephew and thus fulfil her political destiny. When Guy returns from the bloody battlefields of France, Magdalen has grown into a stunning sensual beauty. Suddenly the noble knight is fighting the fiercest battle of his life; against a searing desire for a woman he cannot have.

Magdalen, the illegitimate daughter of an English prince is a pawn in the struggle between France and England. A complex love story set in the midle ages
Well written historical. High on the ick factors for me though. Heroine takes a lover and then there is the matter of her age.....

Almost Innocent is a romance that is particularly dear to me with a herione who surprised me with her strength and resourcefulness and a hero who will always be one of my favorites.

Great book. Feather books are always a quick read with great characters. The honor of a knight goes up against his desire for his ward.
