Philippa (52 page)

Adair Radcliffe is only a child when her family
perishes in the War of the Roses, so her real father,
the womanizing King Edward IV, takes her in,
honoring his promise to her mother. Once Adair
turns sixteen, the king marries her off without her
knowledge in a wedding by proxy. But when
tragedy leaves her a widow twice over, Adair
realizes that her already tenuous social position has
sunk even lower. Now, all she can do is hope that
the Scottish laird to whom she is sold will have
mercy on her. But little does master or servant
suspect that love knows no rank.
