An intricate look at a society in which the 'balance of the sexes' is seriously skewed . . .
It isn't easy being the oldest boy in a house run by women--especially for Jerin Whistler. The grandmothers of his clan are descended from soldiers, spies, and thieves--and their ruthless skills kept their family alive during their time in the wilderness. Jerin's now afraid that he'll have to marry the girls next door, a fate he's convinced is worse than death. And it doesn't help when, in the process of a daring rescue, he falls in love with a princess who's as high above his station as it's possible to be.
Ren knows that Jerin is too far below her class to be an appropriate match for her and her royal sisters. But then she hears rumors of a long-held Whistler family secret--one that might provide a way for them to finally be together. Unfortunately, she still has four sisters to convince. And that's before Jerin even comes to the capital, where simmering political tensions will threaten not just their love, bur all their lives.
