Her royal blood was a curse

Judith Canmore, niece to Queen Matilda of England, couldn't help but feel her royal blood was a curse, not a blessing. Her royal blood meant that she would be a pawn in the King's hands, married off to the man Henry chose for her. Judith dreamed of a love match, the kind of marriage her friend Ardith had. Still, she knew this wasn't likely and spent her days in a convent, not by choice. In an effort to rebel a bit from the convent's strict ways, Judith goes out of the walls to pick herbs and is kidnapped. Once again, her royal blood is proven a curse because the men responsible for kidnapping her want her to marry their lord, a man determined to take over England and make Judith his queen! Still, Judith is not alone. The man who she loves, Corwin of Wilmont, is there to protect her. Still again, her royal blood proves a curse, for no matter how much she desires to marry Corwin, a royal heiress could never marry a Saxon knight! Corwin of Wilmont was attracted to Judith and was determined to protect the feisty heiress from harm. Pretending to join the rebels who kidnapped Judith, Corwin is determined to discover who is trying to overthrow the King and save the kingdom from a bloody civil war. If he is successful in thwarting the rebellion, Corwin knows that King Henry will gladly reward him with land and coin, but the only reward Corwin desires is the one he can never have - Lady Judith as his wife! This book had everything and I found it very difficult to put it down! Judith was a wonderful heroine, feisty and opinionated, yet tender as well. Corwin was a perfect hero - brave, talented, kind, and willing to risk his life for the woman he loved. There was intrigue, a bit of a mystery, attempted rebellions, and court politics all woven into a tender and heartwarming love story. I have become a great fan of Shari Anton's work, and this book is definitely up there with the other books by Ms. Anton that I have read. For those interested, there are several inter-related books by Ms. Anton. There is By King's Decree (Gerard and Ardith's story), Lord of the Manor (Richard and Lucinda), By Queen's Grace (this one), and Knave of Hearts (Stephen and Marian's story). I've read three of these now, and each of the books have been excellent! Ms. Anton really has a gift for writing wonderful romances.
