title: Splendor Amidst the Maying
author: Cervant, Leelou
description: Edith—plain, hated by her stepmother, ignored by her father and siblings—is frightened and thrilled by the way the handsome, mysterious hired sword, Sir Simon, has always watched her. But on the eve of May Day, when he comes upon her in a moonlit meadow, she falls under his spell and surrenders her body and her heart. But this passionate night is just the beginning of a life Edith never expected to live.
  Desiring to keep his identity secret, Simon hired his sword out to Hugh of Wardell, but it was the man’s eldest daughter who kept him from moving on sooner than he might have. Edith of Wardell was not as pretty as some females, but she had an exuberance about her he found all to alluring, and her obvious good heart and kindness stole his heart away.
  Amidst the maying, Simon at last claims Edith for himself, but will she forgive him for the secrets he’s kept, and will she be up to the challenge of the new life he is about to thrust upon her?
