Meet Philippa de Beauchamp — daring, impulsive, guilty of thinking with her feet and not with her head whenever she’s in a bind. Philippa flees her father’s castle when she hears she’s to be married to the revolting Baron de Bridgport. But her daring escape in a wool wagon becomes a disaster when she winds up at the castle of St. Erth, whose owner, Dienwald de Fortenberry, is a rogue, as smooth and bold as Aquitaine wine, and poor as a church mouse.
What is he to do with a girl who won’t tell him who she is, who is as tall as he is, and so beautiful it makes his teeth ache just to look at her?
There are villains to dispatch, mysteries to solve, and a little boy for Philippa to win over.
