Especially when one was engaged to another man… Lady Alana's family is in debt, and her brother's fate hangs in the balance. Alana agrees to marry the Duke of Besville. In exchange for her freedom, all debts will be paid. When Lord John of Ravenmore agrees to train the strong-willed Alana of Berkley in the art of the sword, he has no idea what he is getting into. She is betrothed to one of the most powerful men in England. But that will not stop his heart. To him, she is worth more than gold, and he will keep her. No matter the cost…
