Hers to Command
by Margaret Moore

In this touching but predictable romance set in medieval England, two unmarried—and hence unprotected—young noblewomen, desperate to save their late father's estate from conniving cousin Roald de Sayres, seek help from the only available knight in the neighborhood: the handsome, carefree, impoverished ladies' man Sir Henry d'Alton. Though beautiful Lady Giselle initially attracts Henry's eye, it's her homely but bold younger sister, Lady Mathilde—whose reputation has suffered a ruinous blow at the hands of Roald—who begins to win his similarly tarnished heart. While cameo appearances by characters from previous books in Moore's Brothers in Arms series, such as Merrick from The Unwilling Bride, may thrill the author's established fans, a more thorough recap of characters' shared history would better explain the wandering Sir Henry's need to prove himself. Fortunately, colorful and compelling details of life in the Middle Ages, from battle strategies to food, abound.

Margaret Moore's Bio

Margaret actually began her career at the tender age of eight, when she and a friend would concoct stories of a beautiful damsel and a handsome, misunderstood thief nicknamed "The Red Sheik." She's had a soft spot for handsome rogues ever since.

Unknowingly pursuing her destiny, Margaret graduated with distinction from the University of Toronto with a degree in English Literature. She also spent time in the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, where she learned to spit shine shoes, yell at men, and experience the joy of marching for no discernible reason.

Margaret has written over 25 books for Harlequin Historicals and Avon Books, including a Young Adult historical romance for HarperCollins Childrens Books. She now writes for HQN Books.
