1333 A.D. - The lovely and educated Lady Aubrielle Grace di Witney is what is kindly termed an unmanageable woman. Her uncle, the Earl of Wrexham, has been awarded custody of his niece because her mother can no longer handle the head-strong beauty. Like a coward, the earl abdicates his duties to his most powerful knight, Sir Kenneth St. Héver with the instructions to transform her into a submissive lady. Aubrielle and Kenneth are at odds from the onset; Kenneth expects obedience and Aubrielle is less than compliant. When the battles die down and a strange, wonderful comfort settles, Kenneth comes to discover that Aubrielle is a lady with a secret. Because of this secret, her mother is murdered and Kenneth finds himself protecting Aubrielle because he wants to, not because he has been ordered to. Mysterious sects and a crazed warrior want the lady dead for different reasons. It soon becomes a test to Kenneth’s cunning and knightly skills to keep his beloved Aubrielle alive.

“You cannot know my pain,” the woman wept. “I do not understand where I went wrong in raising my only child. She has had the best education that my husband and I could provide for her. She has wanted for nothing. I do not understand why she rebels against me.”
The man seated opposite the woman had heard this tale before. It was difficult not to yawn in the face of her agony. He had stopped offering his advice long ago, mostly because he had no children and was therefore not an expert on their rearing. But he knew where his sister had gone wrong, experience or not. A fool could have realized it.
“You have spoiled her,” he said simply.
The woman’s weeping grew louder. She muffled it in her expensive kerchief, held tightly to her nose. “What have I done that you would not have in my place?”
Garson Mortimer, cousin to Roger Mortimer and the First Earl of Wrexham, was not a normally patient man. His only sister was trying him sorely to the point where he wanted to rip out what was left of his thinning hair. She never listened to him as it was, only using him to vent her frustrations.
He leaned back against his chair, a sturdy piece of furniture built by Welsh craftsmen. So close to the border of Wales, English and Welsh cultures seemed to blend together in a calliope of disciplines ranging from food to architecture. His opinions on women and childrearing, however, were strictly English.
“Do we truly need to revisit this subject?”
“We do!”
“Then I would not have sent her to receive her education at a monastery,” he said flatly. “I told you that was a mistake. St. Wenburgh is far too unconventional.”
“But her father…!”
