A Lily on the Heath, a medieval historical romance by Colleen Gleason.This book is part of Ms. Gleason's Medieval Herb Garden series. It's adangerous web of intrigue and treason in the Royal Court. It's the story ofMalcolm de Monde and Judith of Kentworth. Malcolm is in need of a wife,and while he visits the royal court, he meets the beautiful Judith, anindependent woman, a Falconer , a confident and servant of Eleanorof Aquitaine, Queen of England. Unfortunately, her beauty also attractsthe King but she does not want to be his concubine or the Queen servant.To save her from that fate, Malcom proposes an arrangement by askingJudith in marriage. Ms. Gleason did a good research on the work of Falconer.It's a medieval intrigue you will enjoy reading. Very well written by this author.I recommend this book, if you love a medieval historical romance.I understand it's medieval but I would have loved a bit more romanceor tenderness between Mal and Judith, which, I didn't feel.
