title: Marriage Bargain
author: Andrews, Lisa
description: When Elinor is forced to marry William de Valences, it is for her lands, not her beauty.  But King Henry makes it a condition of marriage that William should provide proof of Guy de Riddington's plotting with the French.  William falls in love with his wife, but suspects that squire Robert Latimer is her lover.  William rids himself of his rival and keeps his bargain with the king, leaving him and Elinor free to enjoy married life together.
