A formidable Scottish knight used
to getting his way, Earl Hugh Dulonget of
Hillcrest has gotten himself into a bind.
His uncle's will clearly states that Hugh must
marry-yet he has just insulted his
would-be bride by calling her a peasant!
Now he must do whatever it takes to win
back the fair Willa . . .
Everyone has advice, it seems.
His comrades-in-arms believe gifts and
baubles will earn her love. The old witch who
was her guardian wants Hugh to crawl
back to Willa on his belly. And his castle
priest suggests he read De Secretis Mulierum,
a book on the secrets of women. But Hugh
knows only one sure way to overcome
her reluctance: he must convince Willa that
his passion and devotion are not only
what she needs, but what she wants more
than anything else in the world.
