Heart-racing romance and murderous mystery in medieval England! When beautiful, spirited Finnula Crais kidnaps the dashing knight Hugh Fitzstephen, she has no idea that shes ensnared the new Earl of Stephensgate on his way home from the Crusades. Nor does she realise that Hugh is quite happy to be kidnapped by an enchanting tomboy, and will do anything it takes to avoid being rescued. With Finnula determined to hold Hugh to ransom, and Hugh equally determined to steal Finnulas heart, it isnt long before the fireworks start! But when an attempt is made on the new Earls life, there is only one suspect - and even if he loves her dearly, Hugh cant let her get away with it...
