Author Description

<p>When you're in love with a man of legend, how can anyone else match up?</p><p>Dr Grace Harper has loved the stories of Robin Hood ever since she first saw them on TV as a teenager. Now, with her fortieth birthday just around the corner, she's a successful academic in Medieval History--but Grace is stuck in a rut. Grace is supposed to be writing a textbook on a real-life medieval criminal gang--the Folvilles--but instead she is captivated by a novel she's secretly writing. A medieval mystery which entwines the story of Folvilles with her long-time love of Robin Hood--and a feisty young woman named Mathilda of Twyford.</p><p>Just as she is trying to work out how Mathilda can survive being kidnapped by the Folvilles, Grace's best friend Daisy announces she is getting married. After a whirlwind romance with a man she loves as much as the creatures in her animal shelter, Daisy has press-ganged Grace into being her bridesmaid. </p><p>Witnessing Daisy's new-found happiness, Grace starts to re-evaluate her own life. Is her devotion to a man who may or may not have lived hundreds of years ago really a substitute for a real-life hero of her own? Grace's life doesn't get any easier when she meets Dr Robert Franks--a rival academic who she is determined to dislike but finds herself being increasingly drawn to... If only he didn't know quite so much about Robin Hood. </p><p>Suddenly, spending more time living in the past than the present doesn't seem such a good idea...</p>
