About This Book
"I am no man's whore!"
Red Adam made his first mistake when he kidnapped Lady Julitta with the most dishonourable of intentions.
He made his second when he attempted to ravish her and Julitta cracked his head with a stool.
Bound to him by chance and married against her will to this young impetuous Lord of Brentborough, it takes treason, conspiracy and civil war in turbulent twelfth century Yorkshire to transform Julitta from an unwilling partner to comrade-in-arms and finally, to wife in fact as well as name.
Digital Blurb:
The fair Lady Julitta has a problem. She is not wealthy. She prizes her virginity. And her liege, whom she despises, is intent on rape. Red Adam is the lord of Brentborough castle—young, impetuous, scandalous, a twelfth-century hell raiser. On one of his nights of drunken revelry he abducts Julitta. Though she fends him off, keeping her virginity, he has sullied her honor. Then, to the astonishment of all, he marries her. Red Adam's Lady is a boisterous, bawdy tale of wild adventure, set against the constant dangers of medieval England. It is a story of civil war and border raids, scheming aristorcrats and brawling villagers, daring escapes across the moors and thundering descents down steep cliffs to the ocean. Its vivid details give the reader a fascinating and realistic view of life in a medieval castle and village. And the love story in it is an unusual one, since Julitta won't let Adam get closer than the length of her stiletto.
Long out of print though highly acclaimed, Red Adam's Lady is a true classic of historical fiction along the lines of Anya Seton's Katherine and Sharon Kay Penman's Here Be Dragons.
