Dangerous Favor
by Joyce Dipastena
Mathilde needs a champion.
Her father has been accused of stealing from the king, an allegation that has reduced her family to poverty. She has one chance to find and marry a man who can help her prove her father's innocence.
Lord Therri, heir to a rich barony, has the wealth and connections Mathilde needs to delve into the mysteries of her father's past. Furthermore, Therri embodies all her romantic dreams.
Etienne, the younger son of a disgraced family, has neither wealth nor connections, but is smitten with Mathilde at a glance. She finds the knight intriguing, but believes he is only out to seduce her.
While she seeks for a way to win Therri's attention, Etienne tricks her into granting him her favor--an embroidered white ribbon--for a tournament, setting in motion a dangerous chain reaction of events.
Can Etienne save Mathilde from a nightmare from her past and prove himself the true hero of her dreams?
