TBR RBC 2015: A book by Meg Cabot
Finnula Craig is the youngest of
five sisters and their long-suffering brother, and quite the handful. After their
parents died several years ago, Robert has been the head of this family of
millers and Finn has only grown more difficult to deal with. A talented archer
and hunter, she is a thorn in the local sheriff’s side as she continues to
flaunt the law and poach upon the local Earl’s game.
When Finn’s only other unmarried
sister lands in trouble, Finn reluctantly agrees to help her out. The local
women have taken to ambushing young men and demanding ransom from their
families in order to fund local beer-making activities. Finn has no other
choice but to take a hostage and hope he’s from a rich family. What Finn
doesn’t expect is for her captive to be none other than Hugo Fitzwilliam, the
new Earl of Stephensgate. Having just returned from the Holy Land, fighting for
King and country, Hugo is sorely tempted by this feisty and audacious slip of a girl who isn’t afraid to sass him. For her part, Finn is just as
afraid of losing her freedom as losing her heart …
