Summary
Lord Hendrick, the esteemed heir to a frontier marquisate, is lauded as the epitome of perfection. Yet, beneath his flawless exterior lies a complex individual known only to his childhood companions: the twin retainers, Roslyn and George. Their inseparable bond is shattered when Queen Joanna extends a prestigious invitation for Hendrick to serve as her personal knight. The catch? Only male attendants are permitted. George is chosen, leaving Roslyn to grapple with their impending separation.
But fate takes a dramatic turn. On the very day Hendrick is to depart, George vanishes, leaving behind a cryptic letter. Desperate to protect her beloved lord and preserve their family’s honor, Roslyn makes an audacious decision: she will assume George’s identity, donning male attire to accompany Hendrick.
Now, as ‘George,’ Roslyn navigates the perilous world of court intrigue, all while guarding her secret and the burgeoning, undeniable feelings Hendrick seems to harbor for his new ‘male’ attendant. Can she maintain her elaborate charade, or will the truth—and Hendrick’s overflowing affection—unravel everything? Discover the secrets and romance in Chapter 1!
