| Kate Knight has fought her way out of an abusive relationship into celibacy and anonymity. On weekends she becomes a woman who has earned knighthood by besting other warriors in the Lords and Ladies of Chivalry events. When Lieutenant Michael Turco's younger brother Mark is almost killed during a tournament he asks for Kate's help. He needs her familiarity with the people and events to go undercover convincingly.
Blair Bancroft gives us an excellent tale of two people who have wrapped their hearts into a cocoon of self preservation. Kate's history is a horror story of abuse and neglect. Michael's present as a patrol officer is often filled with the dregs of society. Both have felt they had to keep others at a distance to survive. The tale of Mona and Bubba, Kate's friends, is a mixture of heartbreak and strength that adds much to the book. The author does a great job weaving their relationships while giving us an education about people who crave simpler times when chivalry was alive and well.
