Silent Knight: Alexander by Elizabeth Rose

Alexander Masterson has been raised as a mercenary, despite the fact he has a twisted leg. Trained in the art of war, he has often dreamed of being a knight. On his father’s death bed, the man says Alex’s entire life has been a lie. Born as the child of a powerful baron and Lady Summer (sister of the Legendary Bastards of the Crown), he was thought to be stillborn. Raised by a deceitful, spiteful and exiled man, Alexander’s father confesses that Alex is really noble. But what difference does it make when he is considered lame and no woman will ever want him?
Lady Charlotte Ashworth is a barren widow and already past the prime of her life at five and twenty years of age. She’s lived with nuns for the past seven years but wants more than anything to be married again. When she sees a lame man arrive at the castle, she immediately feels a connection to him. But Charlotte’s mother is determined to marry her off to an old nobleman, not caring if her daughter loves him or not.
Will having a title or being disabled get in the way of two people finding true love and happiness in their lives? The important things in life are not always what they seem.
