Gwendoline Woodby longs to escape her duties at the Finch & Flower. She dreams of a world beyond the tavern walls, stable yard, and the sleepy market town, but her overly-protective father is the landlord and—sometimes, it feels like—her jailor.
When a handsome guest offers a chance at liberty, can Gwen find the courage to leave everything she’s ever known? And, once his deception is discovered, will Leo’s good intentions leg-shackle him to this ginger-haired barmaid for the rest of their lives?
