✦ Synopsis


Love isn't forbidden to Lady Kirei as long as it's with a proper gentleman of Kyō and she doesn't mind sharing him with his wife. Her provincial upbringing makes her socially unacceptable as a true wife, yet as a lady by birth and a court favorite, her position makes it impossible for her to seek a match below her station. She's trapped.When a nobleman of similar provincial upbringing arrives in town and becomes an instant favorite of the emperor, he is sent to Lady Kirei for tutoring on city ways. Lord Yūkan is smitten, but she's not a conquest to be won. She's a woman of substance and worth, and she's off limits.Despite his unrefined manners, Lord Yūkan's aristocratic bloodline shows through his fine taste and quick mind. It doesn't hurt that he's handsome, too. As he begins to touch her heart, Lady Kirei is ever mindful that they can't commit, especially when her uncle schemes to make her a consort to a prince.Will her family's honor relegate her to the shadow-life of a consort, or can love find a way?
