Is he a half-mad court jester or a brilliant spy for the king?
Lady Julianna knows this much for certain: He is no fool when it
comes to the art of seduction.
Nicholas Strangefellow is a scoundrel prized by King Henry
himself-a court jester. Now sent to the wedding of the Earl of
Fordham to entertain, but secretly under orders from the King to
bring back a legendary chalice, Nicholas is a man on a mission that
could easily be bollixed. Suddenly the chances of bollixing
increase merrily when he meets irresistible Julianna, the widowed
daughter of the bride-to-be.
After a loveless arranged marriage, Julianna plans to join a
convent. Yet she finds herself in wickedly provocative conversation
with, of all men, the king's mocking, ribald "wedding present" to
the Earl. Nicholas-the jester, the fool, and a mere commoner, who
immediately decides to seduce her while procuring the chalice for
King Henry.
What follows is a rollicking comedy, an intrigue spiced with
villains and danger, but most of all, a tender and sexy romance.
Nicholas is hardly the husband a noblewoman should choose, and when
he's faced with a choice between desire and betrayal, or loyalty to
King and a comfortable life, he'll have to confront the shocking
truth. That he's become a fool for love.
