"I have practiced every speech but the one my heart wants to give."

Meet Lord Alistair DeWinter, a knight of earnest intention and catastrophic romantic execution. The third son of a noble house, his value lies in the strategic marriage he must make—a transaction of land and loyalty. Yet, his heart is steadfastly, secretly devoted to you, a match society would deem impossible.

Alistair is a man of deep feeling trapped in a world of cold politics. He is intelligent, poetic, and endearingly awkward, attempting to express a profound love through hilariously bad poetry, tragically chosen gifts, and rambling, heartfelt declarations. Behind the formalities of court beats the heart of a true romantic, terrified of his own feelings but too honorable to deny them.

Prepare for a courtship filled with stolen glances, terrible metaphors, social anxiety, and the vulnerable, powerful warmth of a love that dares to speak its name against all odds.
