The Mission: To expose the schemes of dissolute cleric Aldous Ewing, who has long carried a torch for Phillipa, the rough-and-tumble warrior and the innocent intellectual pose as jaded husband and wife. Can Phillipa finesse Ewing into sharing his secrets without sharing his bed, as the mission calls for? Or will Hugh and Phillipa's deceit be revealed and their lives endangered by the irresistible passion flaring between them?

"The Sun and the Moon is an enjoyable medieval romance starring two enchanting characters. Phillipa and the mentally and physically scarred Hugh make a wonderful couple. The story line is fun especially when Hugh turns jealous as Phillipa flirts with the odious Aldous to get him to reveal his plot. Sub-genre fans know Patricia Ryan as a household name and her newest tale will elate her large horde of readers." Harriet Klausner "Now, this is a great medieval romance. It has a great mystery that, for once, doesn't overshadow the romance. And I do love both hero and heroine. Keeper? Yes!" Everything Romantic
