The Handfasting — Glynnis Campbell

Marrying the author's two beloved series, The Handfasting spins the tale of the long-awaited match between a Warrior Maid of Rivenloch and a Knight of de Ware... When the renowned French knight, Sir Noel de Ware, comes to Scotland to claim his betrothed -- the most beautiful heiress in the Highlands -- he's sure he's been given the best holiday gift ever…until he discovers the spirited lass he's wedded and bedded is not the right sister. Ysenda of Rivenloch never intended to be a counterfeit bride, and when she begins to fall in love with her handsome husband, she becomes trapped in her own deception. Only true love and a Yuletide wish can set things straight and grant them a happily ever after.
