A 15th century French kingdom has fallen under the attack of another and a young princess is to be married off as part of the peace treaty.  Her protector for the treacherous journey is a disgraced knight stripped of his spurs. They will battle wills and rebels in order to get to the wedding on time. We have all read versions of damsels in distress falling in love with their bodyguards but Shelly Thacker does it with finesse. She is able to make a cliche story line shine bright enough to keep even a jaded reader such as myself anxiously flipping through pages to find out how the protagonists made out.
