Not all nice guys finish last. Sometimes they come out on top.
Gerall Gwyn has always been the kindest and gentlest of Snow's seven brothers. Happy to take a backseat to his older and younger brothers boisterous personalities he's content in the role of peacemaking diplomat. But when his family and their position as Lords of Westfall are threatened, Gerall is first in line to protect those he loves.
Eloa Lenter harbors a deadly secret. After two thugs almost kill her father, forcing him to go into hiding, she takes over the family business of running the Westfall bakery. In an effort to do more than simply scrape by, she uses every talent in her arsenal to make her pastries the best anyone has ever tasted- including using magick.
When Gerall meets the sweet and beautiful Eloa he knows that she's the one he wants as his wife, but first he must get her to let him in. And when he discovers that some local thugs are extorting both her and other shop owners in town, he is determined to end the thefts.
But protecting Eloa as well as his family could cost both Gerall, and his brothers, more than just their stewardship over Westfall. It could cost them their lives.
