Book request: Hi there! I read this book back sometime in 2001-2004, and I believe it was written between the 80s and 90s. There is an abandoned post --> https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... that was looking for the same book.The details I remember are, the heroine did not want to marry the evil man who was described as a pig, and so she meets the hero, a traveling bard who agrees to help her. He cuts her hair off, has her bind her breasts and dresses her in men's clothing, calling her his apprentice (i think) named Robin. They travel around and fall in love, and turns out she is god daughter to the Queen. At the end she is pregnant by the hero but ends up forcibly married to said evil guy, using pig's blood to fake her virginity, and the hero fakes his death to save her. Cue happy ending.Scouring the internet has left me with nothing but Robin Hood novels, so any help would be awesome!! Thank yoU :)

For how could he offer the queen's own goddaughter a gift so lowly as his own foolish heart? ...more
