My Fair Knight

Dr. William Ashford’s life is divided into two eras: the school year, where he’s a respected but stuffy medieval history professor, and the summer, where he becomes Sir William, a chivalrous knight at the local Renaissance Faire. It’s his escape, his passion, and a world where he feels more himself than anywhere else. When a captivating woman with an inexplicably regal bearing and a sharp wit wanders into his encampment, he’s immediately intrigued. “Charlie” claims to be a graduate student with a love for history, and Will is delighted to find someone who appreciates the authentic details of his craft.

Princess Charlotte is suffocating under the weight of her crown. Desperate for a summer of normalcy before assuming her royal duties, she flees her European principality for an American Renaissance Faire, where she can simply be “Charlie.” She doesn’t expect to find a knight who isn’t playing at chivalry—he lives it. In Will, she finds a man who values her mind, makes her laugh, and sees the woman, not the title. But as their fairy-tale summer romance deepens into real love, the façade becomes harder to maintain.

With paparazzi circling and an arranged engagement looming at home, Charlotte’s secret is one photo away from exploding. Will, already nursing a bruised heart from a past that mocked his “hobby,” must decide if the woman he’s fallen for is just playing a role, or if their love story, born in a field of pretend, is the most real thing either of them has ever known. A charming, heartfelt romance about finding your true self, discovering that fairy tales can be real, and learning that the greatest honor isn’t a title, but the courage to love authentically.
