[The Realm Series 07] • A Touch of Honor

For two years, BARON JOHN SWENTON has thought of little else other than making Satine Aldridge his wife; so when he discovers her reputation in tatters, Swenton acts honorably: He puts forward a marriage of convenience that will save her from ruination and provide him the one woman he believes will bring joy to his life. However, the moment he utters his proposal, Swenton's instincts scream he has made a mistake: Unfortunately, a man of honor makes the best of even the most terrible of situations. SATINE ALDRIDGE has fallen for a man she can never possess and has accepted a man she finds only mildly tolerable. What will she do to extricate herself from Baron Swenton's life and claim the elusive Prince Henri? Obviously, more than anyone would ever expect. ISOLDE NEVILLE has been hired to serve as Satine Aldridge's companion, but her loyalty rests purely with the lady's husband. With regret, she watches the baron struggle against the impossible situation in which Miss Aldridge has placed him, while her heart desires to claim the man as her own. Yet, Isolde is as honorable as the baron. She means to see him happy, even if that requires her to aid him in his quest to earn Miss Satine's affections.
