Samantha Holt's story of a "heartless" knight who is sent to assassinate a royal Lady is an engaging and fun read. When Nicholas meets Annabel, he soon realizes she isn't the spoiled and shallow maiden he expected. She reveals herself to be thoughtful and compassionate, and to Nicholas's surprise he finds himself falling in love with her. Throughout the tautly written story, he realizes he can never follow through with his original mission and vows to protect Anabel, even if it means going against her evil and opportunistic Uncle Benedict, who ordered the assassination.Even though it is a short story, it still packs a lot of action. Nicholas battles his own self-loathing while trying to protect Anabel as well. Samantha Holt is a talented writer, the world she created is a vivid one and I found myself attached to her characters and rooting for a "Happy Ever After".If you have any interest in historical fiction or romance, buy this book! It is the perfect read for a day relaxing by the pool and getting lost in another world.
