Description

A five hundred year old house that seems to have it in for the new owner. Ren Faire fans in the back garden armed with deadly weapons. And a mysterious person bent on destroying more than just the burgeoning love story unfolding in the shadows...

Stranded in England without money or a ticket home, Mercy Starling takes a job working for a medieval reenactment company. After all, who wouldn't want to pretend to live in the past, wield swords and longbows, and dress up in armor? And the most exciting part of her summer job is Bestwood Hall…or rather, its intriguing new owner.

Painfully shy Alden Ainslie is overwhelmed by the medieval reenactors who invade the Tudor house he's renovating, but he's drawn to the bubbly Mercy. And he valiantly joins in the fun, dodging not just arrows, lances, and the odd sword thrust, but also some pretty suspicious — and potentially deadly — attacks on himself. Someone wants him to give up on the house. But Alden is desperate to prove himself–and win the heart of his lady fair…
