The Baron's Bounty

By Elizabeth Rose

She was just a proxy. They were never meant to fall in love.

Isobel MacEwen is sent as her cousin's proxy to marry Conlin de Braose, Baron of the Cinque Ports. Several months before she leaves Scotland, and on the same night that the baron's ship is in port, she witnesses the murder of her Scottish king. From her hiding place that stormy night, she only sees the murderer's shoes as he walks by. Isobel's weakness is shoes. She loves shoes and notices not only everyone's feet, but the way they walk as well. Now, a pair of shoes is the only clue to what really happened that night.

Lord Conlin de Braose of Sandwich has made an alliance. He's never met his betrothed but finds out she's called the Shrew of the Scots. Either way, he has a daughter to think of since the death of his wife. She needs a mother and he needs to align with Scotland.

On the day his betrothed comes overseas to meet him, a storm takes the ship. The bounty he pulls from the wreckage is a woman - his betrothed's cousin and proxy, Isobel MacEwen. The woman is beautiful but a bit addled because of her strong infatuation with shoes. Still, when he gets to know her, he realizes he is falling in love and now he is in a horrible bind. Especially since the girl seems to think he's killed the Scottish king!

Can a baron of the Cinque Ports keep his alliance to ensure the safety of his daughter and his people? Or will he risk everything to be with the woman he loves?
