Description: Packed with intrigue and searing passion, peopled by irresistible heroines and dark, dangerous heroes, Anne Stuart's spellbinding love stories never fail to captivate. Hailed as "on incomparable master" by Romantic Times, this talented author has penned more than sixty novels and won almost every major award in the romance field. And now, Anne Stuart offers her most tantalizing novel ever, as a beguiling lady crosses swords with a man who is clever, compelling...and not what he seems.

As the child bride of an elderly husband, Lady Julianna of Moncrieff learned little of men and nothing of pleasure. So when the newly widowed lady finds herself thrown into the company of the mocking and elegant Nicholas Strangefellow, a maddening Court Jester sent by King Henry III to entertain at her mother's wedding, Julianna is more than wary; she is determined to keep her distance. But it doesn't take long for the mysterious Nicholas to weave his wickedly sensual spell around her. And only when it is too late will Julianna discover what sort of man he really is...a coolly calculating spy out to steal a sacred relic -- and her own innocent heart. Yet Nicholas is in for a shock of his own. For never did the King's Fool imagine that he would become a fool for love...until the moment comes when he must choose between desire and betrayal.
