For Lydia, living in the small waterside village with her -once warrior, now crippled- father, Lydia spends her days teaching the children of the castle. That is until the king has a special request of her, to secretly tutor the princess. Along with her royal highness comes her famed guardian.
Not speaking unless spoken to -especially not to the bouncy schoolteacher, Lydia- Kit must now spend hours on end with her. Will the stalky brute let down his walls or will his stone exterior push her away?
With an arranged marriage and secrets of Lydia's heritage, what will happen when secrets are told and she meets her intended?
