Rory Kennaugh has always lived in the shadow of his beloved, slightly older, twin brother, Terric. Rory is content to serve as second and stand-in chief while Terric is in England securing his earldom and Rory doesn't truly expect Terric to release his second title of Chief of Clan Kennaugh, despite being torn between two countries. But through a series of events on St. Valentine's Feast Day, Rory begins to reevaluate his perceptions of himself and how others see him, mostly due to an encounter with a woman he has long considered a close friend.
Christane has risen to the highest castle position she can as lady's maid to Rory's sister Cait. But with Cait in England and having not yet sent for her, Christane's position at Bradon Moor is precarious. It doesn't help that Rory, the longtime friend she has long been in love with, is the first man she sees on St. Valentine's Day and traditions lead to his discovery of the feelings she has managed to keep secret all this time.
This revelation changes how Rory sees most everything and when the clan is threatened Rory has a chance to prove himself at last, but will he stand up for what, and who, he wants, despite obvious challenges and class differences?
I'm so glad we got this book! I wasn't ready to leave the world of the Order of the Broken Blade and Rory so deserved his story. This was a lovely, fast-paced novella and it was the perfect bow to wrap up one of my favorite series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
