Is it too late for second chances when the girl you loved in your youth comes back into your life?
Gerolt de Warenne became guardian to a child-heiress named Cassandry when he was only nineteen-years old. As he watched her grow into a lovely young woman, he found himself falling in love with her, but Cassandry viewed him as an older brother. So, burying his feelings, he gave permission for her to marry another.
Twenty-four years later Gerolt and Cassandry meet again. With the loss of their respective spouses, Gerolt hopes to finally court Cassandry, but she desires to remain a widow. Instead, they agree to a betrothal of their children.
Matters become complicated as their friendship begins to evolve into the romance Gerolt has always wanted. But by the law of the medieval Church, Cassandry and Gerolt can’t marry if their children do. Can they find a way to be together? Or must they sacrifice their future for the love of their children?
"Courting Cassandry" is a “Hearts in Autumn” romance, medieval romances revolving around heroes and heroines “in the autumn of their years.” Because love isn’t only for the young!

An emotional and sweet medieval romance.
Cassandry de Reymes is a little concerned when her former guardian, and liege lord comes to visit. She knows her daughter is coming up to an age where she should be looking for a husband. With her own unhappy marriage behind her she is desperate to protect her daughter from a husband who might not care for her.
Gerolt de Warrenne took guardianship of Cassandry when she was still a child. He has always loved her, maybe more than he should have. When she fell in love with one of his knights he allowed the marriage. Now that Cassandry is a widow and he a widower with a sickly heir, he has two choices. Either marry and beget another heir or make sure his son marries to give him a grandson quickly.
This is an emotional story that shows us just how destructive jealousy can be. What starts as an intense love can be ruined when one partner is insecure. The most innocent of details can be twisted and used against a totally faithful spouse. Who will pay the ultimate price,?
I loved this story, It drew me in from the first page to the last. There is danger to a totally innocent party, and someone working behind the scenes for their own desires.
I want to find out what happens next.

Joyce DiPastena dreamed of green medieval forests while growing up in the dusty copper mining town of Kearny, Arizona. She filled her medieval hunger by reading the books of Thomas B. Costain (where she fell in love with King Henry II of England), and later by attending the University of Arizona where she graduated with a degree in history, specializing in the Middle Ages. The university was also where she completed her first full-length novel…set, of course, in medieval England. Later, her fascination with Henry II led her to expand her research horizons to the far reaches of his “Angevin Empire” in France, which became the setting of her first published novel, Loyalty’s Web (a 2007 Whitney Award Finalist).
