Cursed

Lady Henrietta Pemberly could think of nothing more depressing than being wooed for her inheritance.

Unfortunately, her interfering sister Prudence had other plans and before Henrietta could say ‘what bloody tournament?’ she is being paraded before a bevy of armour clad knights as the tourney prize. When the handsome and charming Sir Hardwick wins the right to court her Henrietta should be delighted.
