Adversity builds strength of mind and fuels the fires of success!
The Baroness At a young age, Lady Summer sacrificed herself for the sake of her family by marrying the evil and abusive Baron Mowbray of Suffolk. A few years after birthing him a son, the baron mysteriously dies, leaving her toddler heir to his estate. The king grants Summer one month to find and marry a man of her choosing. Summer would never consider marrying any relative of her late husband, especially not his domineering nephew, Sir Warren who arrives and causes chaos in her life, trying to take the castle.
The Guardian Sir Warren Mowbray returns from battle to discover his uncle has died. With him, died the man’s promise that Warren would inherit his holdings. Now, to add insult to injury, the king has assigned Warren as the widow’s guardian and advisor while she chooses a husband. Once he arrives at the castle, he discovers Summer is a beautiful, smart, determined woman but with a mind of her own. He plans to woo her to draw out her secrets, but she wants nothing to do with him. Warren has suspicions that his uncle might have been murdered – and Lady Summer is the main suspect.
Can a strong, determined woman and a controlling knight find love between them as they embark upon a mission to find a killer?
