A bargain is truck - but before long, Sir Hugh's lifelong enemy is plotting against them, stirring up a whirlwind of treacery that threatens their fragile alliance - and the chance for love.
A fun historical romp that has a mystery attached. Strong female (Alice) finds a stone with a legend attached and wants to study it, strong male (Hugh) wants it to fulfil the legend, they team up to find the stone. He's relentless and strong, she's clever, red-headed and stuborn. It's clever, fun and an easy read. I particularly liked where she had a book of healing recipies but the author avoids telling us exactly what was used (excepting a potion with poppies that another character was using and there is some tutting)
