The Border Lord and the Lady

Lady Cicely Bowen is sent away by her doting father when her jealous stepmother presents a threat to her safety. Raised by a royal widow Cicely becomes best friends with Lady Joan Beaufort and accompanies her north when Joan marries King James I of Scotland. There Cicely is pursued by elegant Andrew Gordon laird of Fairlea and rough-spoken Ian Douglas laird of Glengorm. Then just as Andrew is about to propose to her Ian kidnaps Cicely. (Bestseller).
