After a whirlwind romance with a man she loves as much as the creatures in her animal shelter Daisy has press-ganged Grace into being her bridesmaid. Witnessing Daisys new-found happiness Grace starts to re-evaluate her own life. Is her devotion to a man who may or may not have lived hundreds of years ago really a substitute for a real-life hero of her own? Graces life doesnt get any easier when she meets Dr Robert Franks--a rival academic who she is determined to dislike but finds herself being increasingly drawn to... If only he didnt know quite so much about Robin Hood. Suddenly spending more time living in the past than the present doesnt seem such a good idea...
