The margrave owns the finest hunting grounds for miles around--and Odette Menkels spends her nights poaching his deer to feed the hungry orphans of Thornbeck. By day, Odette is a simple maiden who teaches children to read, but by night this young beauty has become the secret lifeline to the poorest of the poor.

For Jorgen Hartman, the margrave's forester, tracking down a poacher is a duty he is all too willing to perform. Jorgen inherited his post from the man who raised him . . . a man who was murdered at the hands of a poacher.

When Jorgen and Odette meet at the Midsummer festival and share a connection during a dance, neither has any idea they are already adversaries.

The one man she wants is bound by duty to capture her; the one woman he loves is his cunning target . . . What becomes of a forester who protects a notorious poacher? What becomes of a poacher when she is finally discovered?

Delightful!" --Tamara Leigh, USA TODAY bestselling author of Baron of Godsmere

"Melanie Dickerson weaves a tantalizing Robin Hood plot in a medieval setting in The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest.

Very pleasant with enough drama to be a romance novel targeted at young adults. Sadly, an area I felt lacking was knowing 100% of the time what was going to happen all the way through the book (when I was a quarter way through the festival at the beginning, I already knew the entire main plot that would transpire from there) The bit that threw me was how quickly everything was wrapped up towards the end. Was rather anticlimactic which took a little away from the feeling of satisfaction I was anticipating.
