Description

Gwyneth With her hand in marriage and the security of her beloved Haverleigh at stake, Lady Gwyneth is desperate. So when she comes upon a young man who might be the solution to her predicament, she does not hesitate to act, though it means entering into a dangerous deceit and inviting a thief into her castle. The Thief All Gavin has known is a life of lawless poverty. Left for dead and taken in by a very young, very determined lady, he has little choice but to entertain her request. Posing show more as a squire, he begins to train the farmers and craftsmen of Haverleigh in the art of combat. In doing so, Gavin begins to know a far different life -- and to crave all it has to offer. As Haverleigh is secured through their labor and collusion, sparks fly between Gwyneth and her thief. In a moment of rash indiscretion, a kiss nearly undoes them both. Love between a lady and a thief is unthinkable...unless the truth can remain hidden. show less

Gwyneth is just fifteen years old, but with her mother and brother dead, and her father ill, the responsibility of running her family's estate, Haverleigh, has fallen to her. Baron DeVilliers, who owns the neighboring estate, has made no secret of his wish to marry Gwyneth so that Haverleigh can be his. Gwyneth would do almost anything to avoid marrying such a despicable man. When she finds an unconscious thief in the woods, she decides that he is the answer to her problems. Gavin is not much older than her, but has lived his whole life in poverty. Gwyneth blackmails him into posing as a squire and training the men of Haverleigh to fight. Gavin reluctantly gives in to her plan. But neither Gwyneth nor Gavin expects the feelings of love show more that begin to grow between them. I highly recommend this Medieval romance to teenagers, and to anyone who enjoys a sweet love story. show less
