Orphaned…Lady Isabella of Sheffield has spent almost nineteen years confined at Godstow Abbey, and at King Henry’s behest, was betrothed to the Holy Roman Emperor’s illegitimate grandson--the Count of Regensberg--at the age of fifteen. She had fully intended to marry God and rebels from that moment on! Under the guise of a simple knight, the Count von Regensberg stops by the abbey to arrange his betrothed’s departure one week hence.

She falls ill on the journey and awakens from the peculiar malady to discover that Claire has married her treasured Sir Karl. Read on to learn more about this passionate and intense pairing, and the deceitful fiends in their midst!
