Can love rewrite fate when duty binds their hands? Lady Alisoun faces a future she never chose: marriage to an elderly lord to save her bankrupt family' s estate. Resigned to sacrifice, she finds solace only in Christmas Eve prayers, until a mysterious stranger appears in her chapel. Their stolen moment, sealed with a sprig of rosemary, ignites a dream for which she dares not hope.
Kitt, raised as a monastery oblate, has just discovered his true identity: heir to Whitsell. Bound by duty to marry Alisoun (yet unaware of her noble status), he' s torn between honor and the heart he' s already given to a woman he thinks is a commoner. But when their secret identities collide, joy is short-lived. King John' s wrath threatens to destroy everything...unless a king who loves games more than justice decides to play matchmaker.
A lush medieval Christian romance of divine providence, sacrificial love, and faith triumphing over deception. Perfect for readers who adore:
historical depth, star-crossed love, and Christmas miracles wrapped in tradition.
