After a daring escape, she learns that King Richard's life is in jeopardy, and Eleanor of Aquitaine needs Scarlet's help to free him.

But fate--and her heart--won't allow her to stay away from Nottinghamshire for long. Even if Scarlet and Rob can finally stop Prince John from going through with his dark plans for England, will their love be enough to save them once and for all?
