From across a field of battle, English knight, Alexander, Lord Hardwyck, spots the object of his desire—and his conquest, Scottish traitor Lady Chloe. Her lies could be her undoing… Abandoned across the border and disguised for her safety, Chloe realizes the man who besieged her home in Scotland has now become her savior in England. Her life in danger, she vows to keep her identity secret, lest she suffer his wrath, for he wants her dead. Or love could claim them both and unravel two countries in the process… Alexander suspects Chloe is not who she says she is and has declared war on the angelic vixen who's laid claim to his heart. A fierce battle of the minds it will be, for once the truth is revealed they will both have to choose between love and duty.

Review

"This was definitely a great romance novel! I enjoyed it from beginning to end." ~Historical Fiction Obsession***"A Lady's Charade was an enjoyable read." ~ Victoria at Night Owl Reviews***"An enjoyable light read, if you like a classic historical romance this book is for you." ~Lexy at Reading Between the Wines***

From the Author

I have always been fascinated by the medieval era. The ladies, knights, nobles, kings, queens, castles, feasts, jousts, all of it seems magical and romantic--even though in true reality it was not all chivalry and romance. That is why I love medieval romance, because I can transport back in time to a world I love and make it into a place I would want to visit, with vibrant characters, action-packed pages, sizzling romance, gut-wrenching conflict and of course, I can then share that world with all of you!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Eliza Knight is an award winning, USA Today and international bestselling author. Her love of history began as a young girl when she traipsed the halls of Versailles and ran through the fields in Southern France. She can still remember standing before the great golden palace, and imagining what life must have been like. Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, her weekends were filled with visits to museums, and historical reenactments. Escape into history for courageous heroines, irresistible heroes and daring escapades. Join Eliza (sometimes as E.) on riveting historical journeys that cross landscapes around the world. She is a member of the Historical Novel Society and Novelists, Inc., the creator of the popular historical blog, History Undressed, a co-host on the History, Books and Wine podcast and a co-host for the true crime podcast, Crime Feast.

While not reading, writing or researching for her latest book, she tries to keep up with her three not-so-little children. In her spare time (if there is such a thing…) she likes daydreaming, wine-tasting, traveling, hiking, staring at the stars, watching movies, shopping and visiting with family and friends. She lives atop a small mountain with her own knight in shining armor, three princesses, two very naughty Newfies, and a turtle named Fish.

Look for STARRING ADELE ASTAIRE a story full of glitz and glam, delving into the life of Adele Astaire, a spirited and talented woman who served up smiles and love both on and off the stage—with and without her also famous brother Fred Astaire— along with a determined young dancer with rags-to-riches dreams. Coming in June 2024, THE QUEEN'S FAITHFUL COMPANION.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Highland Hero - Yummy!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013

    ok - I loved it! I won't write a summary because other reviewers have done an excellent job of that, so I will tell you what I loved most.

    The H, Lord Alexander, is scrumptious and everything a true Highlander Lord should be. Not only is he strong, brave, arrogant, sexy, handsome, passionate, and totally in love with the h, he is also vulnerable and unsure of his emotions (when it comes to the h). Sometimes when the H is too perfect in a story, it is hard to relate to a real character. Eliza Knight did it again in this wonderful story about romance, nasty villains, courage, fear, bravery, and love.

    The h helps the H change his thinking for the better in regards to his village and how he treats and feels about everyone. He grew up with a horrendous father who trained him to be too harsh and uncaring. The H thought it was how he was supposed to behave, but once he "finds" the h and falls for her and her tenderness, he finally sees that there are other ways of being a strong Lord.

    Eliza Knight has a wonderful way of detailing the surroundings, clothes, and characters without spending pages upon pages of description. I felt as though I was right there and could "see" the highlands around me. Loved it and would recommend to anyone wanting/needing a highland romance with fantastic characters, love that we can only dream of, a villain that I did not see coming (wow - I can usually spot them right away), and a story line that is extremely interesting and original. Keep them coming Eliza - hehehe

    Enjoy! :)

    I haven't found an Eliza Knight story I did not love. But, this story is different in that it focuses on the myriad of emotions both good and bad that run rampant in the minds of those experiencing falling in love. Love isn't easy. But, as this story shows it is definitely worth fighting for!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Grammatical errors spoiled the reading
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2015

    This book could have been a lot better. While the storyline isn't too bad, it doesn't have many twists, and the author's misuse of English was... annoying, to say the least. Nothing detracts from the flow of a novel more than poor language skills on the part of the author, and this book had that in spades.

    The author needs to learn the difference between 'effect' and 'affect'. For example, "had started to take affect" should have been "had started to take EFFECT". Likewise, in another sentence, "She hoped she would get the affect she desired' should have been 'the EFFECT she desired'.

    A mantel is a shelf that projects from above a fireplace. A mantle is a cape or covering. Unfortunately Ms. Knight used both terms to describe the same garment.

    The phrases that I found most egregious: "She had to of woken." I do believe the author meant "She had to HAVE woken" -- and the sentence that started with the words "The baroness' face look sad, and lost." Yes, the correct possessive was used.... but the subsequent lack of past tense in the verb turned it into a senseless sentence.

    Grammatical errors aside, the book was fairly predictable. With a better editor it might have been worth 4 stars.

    I recommend A Lady's Charade if you want to forget about your long hard day. You can easily transport yourself into the characters lives and foibles.
    There was just the right amount of romance intermingled with violence, intrigue and a touch of humor. Chloe and Alexander were obviously made for each other. Anyone could see that and Chloe was not very good at hiding her true identity which added a lightheartedness that made you want to root for them.
    Can't wait for the next book by Eliza Knight!

    Lord Alexander Drake has been sent to re-take South Hearth Castle, a holding in northern England belonging to his father that has been taken by Baron Fergusson. Alexander, by the king's decree, is also to marry Fergusson's daughter, Chloe, to insure that South Hearth will be held by the English. Alexander sees Chloe at a distance while seated on his horse before the wall of the castle; he points his sword to her and states, "you are mine". Chloe flees the castle with her maid, Nicola. Alexander eventually locates Chloe; but he is not certain at first she is the same woman due to the state he finds her in; but he takes her back to his castle at Hardwyck where he installs her as chatelaine.
