From acclaimed Australian author Isolde Martyn comes a historical romance that explores the timeless nature of passion and politics. When Lady Johanna Fitzhenry is married to a power-hungry veteran of the wars against Robert the Bruce, her life turns into a brutal nightmare. Her only chance for escape depends upon the willingness of a complete stranger to go before the court and swear that he married her first. But Johanna's attempt to discover the true identity of her hired husband will sweep her into the highest eschelons of the English court-and into a dangerous passion she has never known before.
