This is the beautiful and slightly sad love story of Princess Marie, known as 'our beautiful princess', and Maximilian, the sergeant of the Habsburg family, known as 'the last knight of the Middle Ages'.
 The 'marriage of the century' between Princess Marie and Maximilian changed the fortunes of the Habsburgs, who at the time were the Holy Roman Emperors, but were broke and headstrong.
 Actually, the term 'marriage of the century' was used for the marriage of Princess Marie's father, Charles the rash duke of Burgundy, and his third wife, Margaret of York, but there is no doubt that it was her marriage to Princess Marie of Burgundy that laid the foundations of the Habsburgs, later the greatest royal house in Europe. It seems to me that theirs was the 'marriage of the century'.
 The historical anecdote of Princess Marie and Maximilian, together with the story of Alicia and Cecilia, who were Princess Marie's attendants, closest friends and like sisters, weave a tale that mixes historical fact and fiction.
 A must-see for anyone who wants a peek into the world of brilliant medieval European princess tales, where royal bloodlines are intricately intertwined!
 I could be happier to share with you, my readers, and the fascinating history of Europe during this period!

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
