Lady Quest - Mediaeval Hearts Series - E-book - ePub

A feisty lady! A determined lord! A witty duel of wills. There is nothing Mikael wouldn't do for his brother, Baron Conard of Wales. So two years after his brother's wife dies in childbirth, Mikael takes it upon himself to bring him a new bride, a well-born lady that his brother had petitioned for and been refused.  Mikael's plan is simple enough, kidnap Lady Grey and take her to his brother to wed.
But simple turns complicated when he kidnaps the wrong woman-a woman with a wit as sharp as his blade and the skill to use it.~Liliane is cousin to Lady Grey and her near twin. She and her cousin lost their husbands in battle six months prior and Lady Grey is taking it hard.  Liliane wants to pull her cousin out of her depression but is not sure how. When Lady Grey asks Liliane to take sacrament in her place and to take her baby and wetnurse with her so she may rest, how can Liliane refuse? But there is something strange about the monk in the chapel.
Before she can act on that instinct, she, the baby, and the wetnurse are kidnapped by a small group of Welsh soldiers.  Liliane plays the part of Lady Grey to keep them safe until she can come up with a plan of escape. But how long can she keep up the pretense before being found out?~As Mikael and Liliane make their way through the wilderness with a noble baby, a wise wetnurse, and a handful of bewildered soldiers, a grudging respect and affection grows between them.
Now Mikael wishes they would never reach Conard Castle. He wants this spirited lady for himself.  "I laughed almost from start to finish-but just enough nail-biting to keep me turning the pages."
