Description

Not every problem can be solved with a sword.

When Alais de Vere is caught kissing troubadours one too many times, her family decides to organize a tournament to find her a husband. In the meantime, they assign an intriguing, taciturn stranger with a scarred face to fend off any men who might try to take liberties with her. As she warms to her guard, she learns the dangers of falling for a pretty face and finds the grand romance she seeks in an unexpected place.

Victor Arden is not pleased when his aunt, the Countess of Hastings, sends him off to Winchelsea as a peace offering. He is especially unhappy when he finds himself assigned to guard the obnoxiously lovely Alais, who insulted his scar upon their first meeting. But when suitors come to town to win her hand, his sword puts them all to shame at a grand tournament.

He wins a kiss, but can he win her heart?
