Summary
Impulsive and short tempered Lord Philip Mallory is impoverished nobility. His parents insist on living a life of incredible luxury far beyond their means as they sink deeper and deeper into debt. His life is interrupted suddenly when his parents promise him in marriage to the son of the famous Shawduns of Shawdun Shipping: A rich, successful family, swimming in money, needing only a title to be the toast of society.
It’s that simple: The Mallory’s lose their debt and the Shawdun’s gain Mallory’s titles. And all they had to do was trade away their sons to do it. Philip balks at the idea of being traded away, and worse matched to Henry--charming, polite, tall and handsome Henry Shawdun who would be so much easier to hate if only he were more like Philip. Philip determines to do whatever he can to break off the engagement before he's trapped at Henry Shawdun's side. Forever.

Summary
Oliver, only son of the Marquis of Metley is quiet and small for his age. He isn't the center of attention, keeping to the fringes and indulging his love of books and plants. Though crowds aren't his favorite, he does love people and has a good heart, and would love to have a friend. But he likes all the wrong things and isn't rowdy and loud like the rest of his classmates at the private school he attends, and so finds himself bullied, or when he's lucky, ignored. Until one day, he is rescued from a group of bullies by a secondary school student who is far too tall and truly has better people to be spending his time with than a quiet bookworm with a lonely heart.
NOTE: This story is part of the larger series, but can be read as as standalone :)
