Sir Charlie of Ashbourne was once a celebrated knight, but after being falsely accused of treason, he was stripped of his title and forced into exile. Now a rogue knight, he survives using his own cunning method-never fight a battle he cannot win. Lady Eleanor de Warenne is on the run from a cruel betrothal, seeking sanctuary at a remote abbey. But when bandits attack her escort, she is saved by a mysterious knight with unorthodox ways. Despite his reluctance to get involved in noble affairs, Charlie finds himself drawn to Eleanor's fire and determination. As they travel together, Charlie teaches Eleanor his "method"-a way to outthink enemies rather than outfight them. But when Eleanor's powerful fiancé sends men to hunt her down, Charlie must decide whether to follow his own rule or break it for love. Will Charlie risk everything for a battle he may not win? And can Eleanor convince the fallen knight
