In 13th century England, Robert Marcel chafes against the
law that holds him bound as a villein on his lord’s manor. He tries to
make a daring escape and is nearly caught by his cruel master, but a young girl
helps him slip away.
Years
pass and Robert takes up trade as a minstrel. Invited to play at a
banquet for the notorious Earl of Saxton, he is stunned to come face to face
with the girl he’s never forgotten—now Lady Marguerite of Winbourne, betrothed
to the earl. Her status as a noblewoman puts her completely out of Robert's reach,
but he knows they are meant to be together. He vows to make her his wife no
matter what the cost.
Lady
Marguerite has often thought of the young man she helped escape. Her
tender feelings for him quickly turn into much more when they are brought back
into each other’s lives. She longs to be free to marry Robert, the man
she loves, but that will require her to sacrifice all she holds dear.
They
are tested at every turn by those bent on driving them apart and destroying
what they have found together. Can their love truly conquer all?
Watch for The Lady and the Minstrel, coming in January 2015!
