Publisher's Synopsis
Former Junior Miss Kentucky Emerson Shaw won pageants using martial arts as her talent and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" as her guide, but a painful secret leads her to the University of York, and puts her in the path of tattooed and pierced bad boy, Michael Nightingale. Michael is a Traveller, part of an ancient line of mercenary gypsies who protect the world from vicious monsters called the Moktar. When Emerson gets attacked, she has no choice but accept Michael's offer of protection or face certain death. Traveller society, full of outdated rules and ridiculous superstitions, isn't a good fit for the headstrong Emerson. Traveller women aren't allowed to fight. Traveller women aren't allowed to win. Traveller women aren't allowed to leave. But Emerson will do what she must, even if it means losing the one person who matters most.
