Don’t Fall in Love Neil is a gentle, brilliant scholar—devoted to his king, loyal to his kingdom, and hopelessly in love with the princess. But in a world where men are judged by strength and steel, his mind means little. Neil cannot fight, and Princess Elara refuses to marry a man who cannot stand beside her in battle. Hoping to give him a chance at her heart, the king sends Neil to a distant warrior kingdom ruled by his fierce brother, a man known for shaping the strongest fighters in the land. There, Neil must transform from a fragile scholar into a warrior worthy of love. But as he trains, struggles, and discovers who he truly is, Neil begins to question the cost of winning her heart—and whether love should be something earned with blood. In a world built on strength, can a gentle heart survive?
