"An ambitious monarch divided them. Loyalty to King Henry compelled Rand to secure and hold Bois-Long for England; her loyalty to mad Charles obliged her to retain the château for France."

The guy Enguerrand (Rand) Fitzmarc has just been rewarded for faithful service to Henry V, and he's now the first Baron of Longwood. But that comes with a price - he's to cross the channel and marry the current mistress of Longwood - and she's French and loyal to the mad King Charles. This doesn't bode well for wedded bliss...

The girl Belliane (Lianna) Bois-Long (Longwood) likes being mistress of the castle, and is none too pleased to learn that Henry of England has chosen a husband for her (an English husband at that!), so she finds herself a French one and makes it all legal before Rand arrives. So smart, she thinks she is, but her new (older) husband has other plans - he wants his son to be the heir to Longwood and that means not consummating the marriage.

So...Rand arrives in France to claim his bride, but before that he comes across this beauteous maiden in the forest and he has no idea this maiden is his intended bride, and Lianna has no idea that the handsome stranger is the one she should have wed. Well now, the attraction is pretty strong between the two, and Lianna does need an heir and since her husband's off in Paris or something attending court, what's a girl who needs an heir supposed to do? Hmmmm?

This was a good, solid read, especially at the end where things end up with a bang at the Battle of Agincourt. Plenty of plot twists and turns, I'd have to say my only complaints about the story is Lianna's obsessive loyalty to the French. I understand loyalty to one's country and crown and all, but it took way too long for Lianna to wake up and see the forest through the trees, and poor Rand being the worse off for loving her and trusting with all his steadfast heart. I wanted to strangle her until the very end where she pulled out and saved the day. Whew
Did not read this book as the print was small & the story did not interest me. Not the authors fault.
Just as expected and the same good read it was when I was in high school
