"Robert Gellis has an extraordinary talent!"—Affaire de Coeur

With more than 8 million books in print RT Book Reviews Lifetime Achievement Award-winning author Roberta Gellis is the master of the medieval romance.

Lissa never much liked her elderly husband, but she certainly hadn't suspected he was plotting treason. When she's suddenly left a widow, the sharp gaze of the king's head investigator turns straight to her. Sir Justin is honor-bound to treat Lissa as a suspect, but keeping his distance from the beautiful temptress requires every ounce of his legendary self-control.

As King John's court swirls with intrigue, tempers are high, passions are hot, and one wrong move could change the course of history.

"A rich tapestry...delightfully imagined."—Publisher's Weekly

"Only a consummate writer of Ms. Gellis's talents could bring the Middle Ages so brilliantly alive."—Rave Reviews
