The Bellerose Bargain

Enter Alicia, a tavern maid of uncertain parentage. Yes, shes a bit young and headstrong, but no one at court has actually ever seen the Lady Bellamy, and Alicias beauty, poise, and bearing are enough to fool the king.

The truth of her past and the lies of her present are about to collide, and suddenly, Alicia and Geoffrey have more than they bargained for.
