When is a lie not a lie, but the truth that will set you free?

Sapphire has no illusions about marriage. With as muddied a lineage as hers, only nobles looking to replenish their coffers with her fortune would consider marrying her. Of course she has to fall in love with a Knight of Valor and senior member of the Dragon Church. Exactly the kind of man she could never have.

Sir Matthias was born the son of a farmer, but the gods recognized his devotion and blessed him with Their divine grace. His hard work propelled him up the ranks of the Knights of Valor. Now he needs to marry well, and that doesn’t include the enchanting and flamboyant heiress that is as unsuitable as she is unattainable.

Sapphire’s grandfather has no intention of losing control of her or her fortune by allowing her to marry just anyone. When he arranges a match between her and an earl suspected of killing his first wife, Sapphire will do anything, strike any bargain, to escape the fate her grandfather has planned for her. Including proposing a sham marriage to the one man she loves.

19 Sapphire

Sapphire stared at Sir Matthias as he chopped firewood for the temple and taught several of the older boys how to do it.

Even without his shining armor, he drew her attention.

In a handful of years, her mother would want her to marry.

She wondered if Sir Matthias would already be married then.

Maybe, just maybe, she wouldn’t die still in possession of her dowry.

Sir Matthias.

Sapphire had a name for the young Knight of Valor that volunteered at the Temple of Thalia.

Not that it mattered.

He never noticed her, and it wasn’t like she wanted him to.

Her cheeks crimsoned at the lie.

17 Sapphire

Sapphire thought about the young Knight of Valor she’d met repeatedly.

As her family attended services at the Temple of Dracor, she searched for him among the Knights, and the strange warmth intensified when she identified him.

Suddenly, the service was a lot more interesting.

16 Sapphire

As Sapphire helped a bright orphan with his letters, a young Knight of Valor several years older than her entered the orphanage.

He roughhoused with some of the boys, laughed with the priests and priestesses of Thalia, then offered to help in the kitchens.

Sapphire stared after him, a strange warmth in her chest.

Helping at the orphanage showed Sapphire how much privilege she enjoyed.

And to think, her father had started in such humble surroundings.

She would do all she could for the other children.

One of them could grow up to be like her father.
