Gabrielle de Perricault needs a knight to lead her men. Though she is a capable leader herself, Gabrielle realizes her men will not willingly obey a woman. Gabrielle requires the assistance of a man to regain her lost home and rescue her kidnapped son. The man she turns to is Yves de Sant-Roux, marshal of the Count of Burgundy. She offers to marry Yves if he recovers her son and her home, making him lord of Perricault. The only condition to her offer is that they be married in name only-she does not want a younger son usurping her son's rights. Yves has no interest in land or titles. Likewise, he isn't desirous of a marriage in name only. It is only when he learns Gabrielle's son is in danger that Yves reconsiders. On his own since childhood, Yves knows the value of family.
