A Reckoning of Honor

June Valecrest has already lost the first great love of her life - her father.

The court of dragons is loud with politics and sharper with judgment, but none of it matters. Not when grief still sits heavy in her bones. Not when every honorable man she meets feels like a shadow of what she has lost.

Until she meets him.

Prince Baelor Targaryen is everything the realm believes him to be - just, disciplined, unshakeable. A man carved from oath and steel. A man who does not retreat.

But beneath the armor of duty is a silence that mirrors her own.

What begins as challenge becomes understanding. What should remain distance becomes something far more dangerous. In a world where loyalty is currency and honor is survival, desire is a risk neither of them can afford.

Yet the closer they stand, the harder it becomes to tell whether this is temptation...

Or fate.
