    Summary

    Miss Brienne Tarth doesn’t mind watching the social whirl of the season from the periphery. She would rather go riding or to the races than attend a ball, and she enjoys Lord Pennytree’s Sporting Weekly far more than any of Sansa Stark’s favored society papers.

    But when the Duke of Casterly returns to Westeros, her old friend sees what others do not—forcing Brienne to reckon with him, their past, and the secret she's been keeping from them all.

    Summary

    The silence after was thick with tension. It was Brienne who finally huffed and walked to the sideboard, filling a tumbler with ice and whiskey.

    After a large sip, she sighed. “I believe we have additional matters of breeding to discuss, gentlemen. Best get on with it.”

    Jaime was halfway through his own swallow; he choked until it burned.

    “Brienne!” Selwyn was red-faced. “That’s no way to start–”

    “Come on, Father. We’re all adults here.” She turned to Jaime, and for the first time he noticed her eyes. They were endless blue, the color of sunny, summer skies. He was held in their still certainty. “Mr. Jaime Lannister was caught by the housekeeper in bed with his married cousin, so his reputation is in shambles.” She had the gall to follow that statement with a gentle smile. “And while I might be the least coveted filly in this trade, I can offer him an out.”

    Summary

    “Why not a hook, though?” Brienne said, and Jaime followed her gaze to the golden hand covering his stump. He paused, and she added, “It’s pretty, but it’s not much use, is it?"
