A knight with something to prove and his best friend's fiercely independent sister find their convictions jousting with their attraction for each other in this charming romantasy that's A Knight's Tale meets My Lady Jane with an extra helping of spice. As the second son of the late Lord Geth, Sir Hawksley of Bronzehollow has never had a place where he felt he belonged. When his older brother inherited the title, land, and almost all the wealth, Hawksley was left only with his jousting skills and a desire to prove himself. He joins the Second Suns Knighthood and signs up for the annual tournament, where the winner gains glory throughout the land and fortune beyond his wildest dreams. There is just one snag in Hawksley's path to victory: he has fallen for his best friend's sister, which is so against the brethren code. Lady Una is no damsel in distress. She has dealt with her fair share of men whose egos are bigger than their broadswords, so when her brother's new friend tries to rescue her from a not-quite-distressful situation, she is more vexed than impressed by her supposed savior. However, as the tournament progresses, Una can't seem to get rid of him or the way his kind words and seductive glances make her question whether chivalry really is dead or if Hawksley might just be her knight in shining armor. And with banquet hall flirtations, post-jousting healing sessions, and one very small tent, their sizzling attraction could burn hotter than dragon's fire.
