SHE VOWED NO MAN WOULD CLAIM HER... Lady Elsbeth wanted no part of marriage! Fleeing her uncle's keep with a chest of her dower coin, she believed Lambeth Abbey would offer sanctuary—with her treasure as payment. Elsbeth never imagined she would be abducted by a surly monk, who promptly revealed himself as one of her uncle's knights, come to take her home! Arrogant Roger of Angelsey was everything Elsbeth despised in a man—even if he was far more handsome than she cared to admit.... UNTIL HE PROMISED TO STEAL HER HEART Clearing thieves from St. John's Wood was unpleasant enough before Roger encountered the hellion Elsbeth. Yet when he returned her to her uncle, Roger was astounded to find the king in residence—and himself in a position of honor. When his plan to secure disputed borderlands met with favor, he found his reward was a bride—Elsbeth! Winning her affection would be a thankless battle...until he discovered he longed to claim her heart.
