THE WIFE TEST

Left on the doorstep of the Convent of the Brides of Virtue when she was just a baby, Chloe of Guibray hasn't been able to dig up anything about her parentage except that her family hails from England. Knowing she must uncover the truth it she ever hopes to marry--she impulsively defies the abbess to pose as a nun and steals into a delegation headed for England with four maidens who have been chosen as brides for King Edward's nobles. But one man threatens to make the journey intolerable: Sir Hugh of Sennet, an infuriating knight whose masculine presence stirs her most primal female urges.

The last thing handsome but monkish Hugh wants is to escort a quintet of enticing young women to England. Especially since this latest errand for the king has brought him face-to-face with a beautiful, habit-clad figure named Chloe. Hugh may have sworn to preserve his bachelorhood at any cost, but this brash and insolent young wench makes him wonder how long they both can keep their vows...
