The Bought Bride

This tale of a Norman knight's quest to conquer an English lady's hostile heart is "above and apart from the average historical romance" (Historical Novel Society).

Lady Rhoese of York was an undoubted prize. A wealthy landowner, she would fill the king's coffers well if one of his knights were to marry her.

Judhael de Brionne accepted the challenge. Desiring her land, the army captain was prepared to take Rhoese as part of the deal. After all, she was beautiful enough—albeit highly resentful—and surely he would be able to warm his ice-cold bride, given time. . . .

"What sets The Bought Bride above and apart from the average historical romance is Juliet Landon's clear, concise writing style and her scholarship. She has obviously walked, spiritually if not actually, through the mucky streets of 11th century York, and imparts her knowledge of the time and place to the reader." —Historical Novel Society
