Drake Fletcher has spent his entire life keeping his family safe, but has always clung to the desire to become a knight, like his father. Despite prejudices working against him and a country at war, his dreams may finally be within his grasp. But his journey to knighthood is interrupted by a woman with flashing green eyes and a sharp wit, one who has found a way to waver the most stoic of men.
Greer MacPherson’s brother has been arrested and though she suspects foul play, no one will bother to listen. Not when she is a woman of such little consequence. In order to save him, she must resort to the skills she’s had to rely on most of their lives: scheming and a sleight of hand. But when a heroic warrior rescues her, she finds she’s not only drawn to his ability to keep her safe on the road, the man of such lofty morals also makes her thoughts turn wicked. Where one sees honor, the other sees deceit. Even as passion ignites between them, so too does betrayal. But amid a maelstrom of danger and lies, can love sway the scales of justice?
