In 1322, Lady Johanna Fitzhenry attempts to escape her brutal husband by visiting her ill father, but her mother concocts a convoluted scheme to pretend that Johanna was secretly married to someone else first. The "someone else" is a man posing as a scholar who is being blackmailed into helping because he's on the run from enemy soldiers. British author Martyn's busy plot involves the imposter and Johanna's evolving love, the various ruses they must use to convince the authorities that they were indeed previously married, a separation while he goes off to war in France and she becomes a lady-in-waiting to the queen, and Johanna's discovery of his true identity. RITA Award-winner Martyn's English medieval historical setting and fascinating court intrigue are more authentic than those of most romances, but they do slow down the love story. Readers who prefer a mere backdrop for sexy romance will be disappointed, but those who like lots of social and political historical detail will be pleased. (from Amazon.com)
