A short story set in the fictional "Free Isles", a collection of squabbling trade nations built on a group of islands in the southern sea, just off the coast of the continent of Khavaril. This story follows the last weeks of a waning ruler -- turned mean and broken by age, responsibility, and wealth -- as his servants and supposed allies plot to kill him. The  conspiracy was planned in order to replace the Earl with his younger brother, a far more lively and capable man.

Henley agrees to pretend to date millionaire Bennett Calloway for a fee, falling in love as she wonders - how is he involved in her brother's false conviction? ****** Henley Linden's brother is in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and she'll take any job to raise the money needed to free him. Soon, she's agreed to pretend to date millionaire Bennett Calloway for ten thousand dollars, so his mother will ease up the pressure on him to find a wife. But once Henley is enmeshed in Bennett's world, he falls for her, and she starts to have feelings for him as well. Despite her romance with Bennett, as she grows closer to the Calloways, Henley realizes they are somehow involved in her brother's conviction.
