Another great book! I love her romances.
From the Cover:
Thirteenth Century England.
Colin of Berkhamshire knows two things - the pleasures of warring and that brides do not want him. Two years ago his bride-to-be, Alienore, fled and hasn't been seen since. Yet his father keeps foisting prospects on him. The latest seems to do nothing but faint.
Alienore of Solonge knows two things as well - that fleeing not only Colin but also her scheming stepmother was the right thing to do. Yet as a knight in disguise she constantly fears discovery. At this point, she's not sure whom she fears more, the Buthcher of Berkhamshire or her evil stepmother.
Through a bizarre twist of fate, she ends up journeying with her charge - Colin's latest intended - to England, where Alienore finds herself not only in the Butcher of Berkhamshire's garrison, but being made over into a knight by him personally. She thinks her life cannot worsen.
Until she begins to fall in love with him...

Really a fun read but then Lynn Kurland is always worth reading.
