title: Velvet Song
author: Deveraux, Jude
description: They were both outcasts by a harsh decree, on the brink of a shared destiny of passion!
  
  With her father murdered, her home burned, lovely Alyx Blackett fled to the woods -- and sanctuary in the camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king's edict.
  
  There she hid her beauty in the guise of a boy, and her sorrow in her work as Montgomery's squire.
  
  But how long could such loveliness as hers be hidden? How long could such a gallant man's desires be blind? And soon -- even as a blood raged between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor -- one woman's love would make all the difference... one woman's love would inflame a hero's passion, touch a king's pity and raise a song of praise in every English heart.
