Listing Details

She dreams of a knight… but he shuns the title. Can he win her heart?
Burgundy, Fifteenth Century.
Eva of Utrecht, the illegitimate and unacknowledged daughter of Duke Philip III, has spent her life hidden in the shadows—labeled a creple for a birth defect that mars her steps, and denied the dreams befitting a noblewoman. But when a rare missive arrives from Coudenburg Castle, inviting her to the May Day Festival, Eva dares to hope: could this be her chance to win the heart of a true knight?
Mathieu of Liège is no knight—at least not by choice. Son of a warrior, he serves as the duke’s trusted ostler, caring for prized horses and hunting falcons. He’s left the violence of the tourney fields behind, wearing a scar that reminds him daily of what “nobility” truly costs. When tasked with escorting the proud, crippled young woman to Coudenburg, he resents the distraction—until her wit and fierce dignity begin to unravel the walls around his guarded heart.
But Eva wants a knight, and Mathieu refuses to play pretend.
Can love bloom between two who have never dared to dream of it?
