Swordcrossed

Den plikttrogne arvingen till en köpmannafamilj Mattinesh Jay behöver en brudsven eller best man till sitt arrangerade bröllop. Blir han utmanad under ceremonin måste det dessutom vara en riktigt duktig svärdskämpe! Han har däremot bara råd med lurendrejaren Luca Piere, som har sina egna bekymmer i kappsäcken.

High heat. Low stakes. Sharp steel.

Mattinesh Jay, dutiful heir to his struggling family business, needs to hire an experienced swordsman to serve as best man for his arranged marriage. A challenge at the ceremony could destroy all hope of restoring his family's wealth, something that Matti has been trying—and failing—to do for the past ten years. He needs a master swordsman.

What he can afford, unfortunately, is part-time con artist and full-time charming menace Luca Piere.

Luca, for his part, is trying to reinvent himself in a new city. All he wants to do is make some easy money and try to forget the crime he committed in his hometown. He didn't plan on being blackmailed into giving sword lessons to an insufferably responsible—and inconveniently handsome—merchant like Matti.
