The listing, Almost Innocent by Jane Feather has ended.
Paperback that is showing some wear. The front cover has a small section torn off in the upper right corner, spine has some creasing and back cover has what looks to me like a piece of the colored section torn off. Book still in very good readable condition.
Growning up behind the impenetrable walls of an English fortress, young Magdalen does not know that she is the illegitimate daughter of a powerful English prince and his murdered French mistress--or that she has been a pawn in the struggle between England and France ever since she slipped from her dying mother's womb. All she knows is that she longs for excitement. And then one day, as if in answer to her prayers, the splendid figure of Guy de Gervais, a true knight in shining armor, rides into her cloistered world and spirits her away.
For Magadalen it is love at first sight. The one and only love of her life. Yet Guy sees only his responsibility to keep Magdalen safe until she can be wed to his nephew and thus fulfill her political destiny. Then duty calls Guy to the bloody battlefields of France, and when he returns, time has transformed Magdalen into a stunningly sensual woman. The noble knight is fighting the fiercest battle of his life: against a soaring desire for a woman he cannot have.
