He was a knight straight out of a fairy tale, protecting his little princess as she grew up and teaching her how to love and how to become his woman. He taught her how to kiss and go on dates, and how to sneak a taste of forbidden pleasures with him in bed for the first time. But because their fathers were sworn enemies, the two of them had to hide their love and date in secret for twenty years, with only a wall between them and the two old men.
Her classmates envied her considerate childhood sweetheart, while her friends teased her for being a dummy kept on a tight leash. But she was perfectly happy, as long as he kept loving her and had eyes for no one but her. Then he found out she had lied to him, and everything changed. He had always said he disliked women who schemed and manipulated others. But she hadn't just lied to him: she had set a trap. When he uncovers this long-buried “secret,” will she still be the woman he wants to protect and love for the rest of his life?
