The Last de Burgh

"Destined for the convent, Emery Montbard disguises herself as a boy and enlists the help of chivalrous knight Nicholas de Burgh. From a proud, dynastic family, Nicholas has a strong code of honour - which is challenged when he notices the provocative curses of his mysterious companion. Doesn't she realise that she gives away her true identity every time she moves? But Nicholas also hides a secret - one that lies at the very heart of him and can never be revealed."--Publisher description.
