Jack Tanner thought being a noble meant he could live happily ever after with Madeline, the love of his life. But when King Richard is captured, and he must marry the conniving Lydia for her money so Derbyshire can pay its share of the ransom. All hope seems lost. Except that Madeline refuses to give up. Can she out-maneuver Lydia to win Jack back or has her chance at happiness been destroyed?
