An arranged marriage, a destitute bride, and a groom who loves another woman.
What on Earth could go wrong?
*****
Ida Weaver never had anything to her name.  She was born a lowly serf and the illegitimate daughter of the lord to boot, and though she quietly longs for something else, she does not complain. She knows her life could be much worse.
But a desperate knight offers Ida a new life, with everything that she has ever wanted. The price? Marriage to his youngest son. 
Ida decides it's worth it- and after meeting her groom, realizes that he is in love with someone else. Classically, his father disapproves of the match. Jacob is Ida's only chance at happiness, but is she his?
Ida wants to make things right, but how? Every rose has thorns...

Sequel to "Escape from the Witch Hunters" Jack kept walking towards her and Ami kept backing up until finally she hit the wall. "Why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" he had an arrogant smile on his face and he got closer to her. "That." she nodded towards his closing in on her. Her breathing and her heart beating picked up speed. "Is it wrong for me to want my own wife?" his own body was nearly pressed against hers and he rested his head between her head and shoulder. "It is when you, just days before, resented the very fact that I was alive." she closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. "Maybe I've had a change of heart." he looked at her. She looked at him with her blue eyes. "I don't think so." "What if I said I loved you?" he whispered hoarsely. "I wouldn't believe you." she rested her head against the wall as her heart pounded in her ears. His eyes flashed, then he viciously grabbed her by the waist, pulled her close to him, and his lips crashed onto hers. ~~~ Andromeda Aurora Amélia the Third had dreaded the day she turned sixteen, as she would have to be married to the very snobbish boy, Prince Jacques.
