**Betrayed** by Bertrice Small is pure historical romance gold – the kind of book that'll have you canceling weekend plans to see what scandalous thing happens next. Set against a backdrop of medieval intrigue, this steamy tale follows a headstrong heroine who discovers that love and loyalty rarely go hand-in-hand when you're navigating treacherous court politics and dangerously attractive knights. Small was the queen of bodice-rippers before anyone apologized for loving them, crafting stories where passion meets betrayal in the most deliciously dramatic ways possible. Perfect for readers who crave historical fiction with serious romantic heat, medieval settings, and heroines who fight back when life gets messy. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has lived a little – just like the best romance novels should. *"Couldn't put it down! Small knows exactly how to balance historical detail with swoon-worthy romance."* *"The perfect escape read. Medieval drama with characters you actually care about – what more could you want?"*
