Set in Cornwall, Lace St.Leger seeks the family sword, and finds Rosalind Caryon.
Carroll incorporates the legend of Lancelot into her historical romance.

Rosalind was just TOO silly and all over the place, characterization-wise. 21, a widow (who married her guardian who was TWENTY YEARS HER SENIOR– fucking gag), and she's still like "I have to return this sword to a lake so this ghost I met one time can find his rest!!!"
Like, sorry!!!! I don't care. Anatole and Madeline worked despite the huge amount of ~*~drama~*~ at the beginning of their relationship because they were both adults who ACTED LIKE adults most of the time and admitted they had to learn how to have a good marriage.

Lance St Leger is the eldest son and heir to Castle Leger and he's restless. He can allow his spirit/soul/consciousness/whatever to drift around in the night while his body remains behind (he/the author refer to it as "Night Drifting", most others call it Astral Travel). When he loses the family sword he decides to go hunting in this way, seeing as he had been at a fancy dress party as Lancelot the Knight this is what he appears to be when he's travelling and how he appears to the young widow Rosalind when he drifts into the inn she's staying in.
Rosalind falls for Lancelot and he falls for her, but she's in love with Lancelot the ghost rather than Lance the person, will he win her over?
It's a fun historical romance, technically the second in the sequence but the first in the next generation, the first book being about the parents. There are some very funny moments where Lance is trying to put himself forward as being a nice guy really but Rosalind is clinging to some very romantic notions about love and also trying not to be forced into another loveless marriage.
