reviewed on + 471 more book reviews


Lord Ian de Burgh has come to court to extricate his younger brother from 'the siren' rumored to be Prince John's mistress--Lady Madeline de Courcey. Twice wed & widowed, Maddy was raised with the Plantagenets as a royal ward, & is skilled in the arts of courtly love. Upon their first encounter, Ian is surprised to find she isn't even pretty but rather holds men enthralled with her lively wit & practiced charm. Sparks fly whenever they clash, as Ian finds himself alternately lusting after her or despising her for her rumored 'loose morals'. The excitement begins when she taunts him too far...& he retailates by taking her for ransom.
