Raised a lady, Emma of Fulford is a fallen woman with a young son as proof. He is all she has in the world, and now the boy's brutal father has returned. Desperate and afraid, she needs to escape, and fast, so she approaches Sir Richard of Asculf. She begs this honourable Norman knight for help; and offers the only thing she has left...herself.

honourable he may be, but Sir Richard is only human and Lady Emma tempts his resolve. Can this conquering knight tame his runaway lady and stop her running for good?
