The Pauper's Prize

The ruling family of Corrus needs an heir and the Viscount's son, Wilhelm, must provide it. He is to be wed to Catherine within the week to ensure the family name continues. He, however, doesn't love her. He can't love her, for she cannot give him what he really desires. Wilhelm needs a man to satisfy him. That man is the most unlikely person in the whole town, a pauper named Pavel. Will Wilhelm give up everything, his title, his wealth, and all his family inheritance just for the chance to be with Pavel? Or will Catherine make sure he marries her so she can solidify her place as a ruler of Corrus?
