The Virgin, the Knight, and the Unicorn

[BookStrand Historical Romance, HEA] Sir Gawain, poor and eager for glory, is on a quest to catch a unicorn. His reluctant companion, the virgin dairy-maid Matilde, hates the nobility and loses no time in clashing with the thoughtless young knight. Gawain believes that as the man his word should be law--a law he is quick to enforce on his companion. However the impetuous Matilde is not easily cowed and confounds him by her unexpected responses, especially to his discipline. As they travel on their quest, the hot-tempered couple learn more about themselves and begin to compromise. Respect changes to fondness, perhaps even to love, but what future can there be between knight and bondswoman? When Matilde is taken by outlaws Gawain realizes, almost too late, what she means to him. Can he rescue her? Can he and Matilde join forces to combat a deeper conspiracy that is ranged against them? And the unicorn? The unicorn, too, has a part to play... ** A BookStrand Mainstream Romance
