Rowena did tell Warrick that a knight was out there(which he aleady knew), but neglected to tell him who it was. She also had chances to tell him that her step-brother,the hero's greatest enemy, was tresspassing on Warrick's land(you would think she would want the step-brother get his comeuppence for the things he made her do). Despite the fact that Warrick told her not to make excuses for what she had done, she had plenty of opportunities to introduce the topic of her step-brother's cruelty and manipulations. The book did not get five stars from me because the heroine acted in silly and inconsistent ways. I can clearly imagine his enraged expression. His outrage came through loud and clear, though he could not verbally or physically express it. The hero's anger while bound was depicted well. I especially enjoyed the scope and the details of daily life in a medievel keep. It is far superior to most romance novels I have read over the last five years or so. This book has withstood the test of time. I intially read this book when it was first published in 1991 and again over the past weekend.
