title: Mightier Than the Sword
author: Waide, Peggy
description: Rebecca Marche made peace with Adam Hawksmore's rejection long ago. Her infatuation with the young duke had simply been a youthful fancy, and his choice of the army over her was now one she understood. Yet when the wounded Lord Kerrick staggers back into her arms, Becca swears to find a way to make him whole. Yet along with wounding him, someone has also sullied the Duke of Kerrick's honor--and Becca is determined to discover who. But first she has to hide Adam from the king's wrath. How can she hide a man as virile as he, in a way that will still allow him to clear his name? There seems only one way: by dressing him as a poet. But first she'll have to teach the stern soldier that some things are mightier than the sword, and one thing is sweeter than glory--love.
