A princess sparks devotion in a chivalrous knight in this medieval romance by a New York Times-bestselling author who creates magic (Lisa Kleypas).
With Princess Melanthe di Monteverde widowed, a political marriage would tip the balance of power to any kingdom that possessed her. Determined to return to England alive and unwed, she hides behind a mask of witchery.

Each time he gazes upon Melanthe's sable hair and twilight eyes, he wants more
