Greer and Lord Castleroy meet in A Chill in the Air. Greer sets her sights on Lord Castleroy, a man 14-removed from the throne who made his fortune in the spice trade. But everything she tries to talk to him about always leads back to pepper and when she sees Leith staring at her, she gets jumpy, accidentally knocking into Castleroy and spilling his drink on her.
Greer and Lord Castleroy are reunited in The Darkness. At the First Light Banquet, Greer attends Lord Castleroy's planned dinner for two, with Leith serving them. Castleroy points out that he avoided including pepper in the meal, since he knows that Greer wasn't that interested in it, and he wanted to prove that he was a man that had more going on than his occupation. Just as Leith pours them some more wine, Castleroy's sleeve catches on fire and Leith uses a table cloth to put it out; Greer checks on Castleroy before tending to Leith and Castleroy praises the boy's courage and selflessness.
The next day, Greer joins Lord Castleroy on the balcony and while she thanks him for his generosity in giving Leith the apprenticeship in Spain when she asked, she can no longer accept kindness from him and rejects his advances once again.

Lord Castleroy managed to get Leith conscripted to the army, and Castleroy even ends up getting Greer to say yes to his proposal.
In Toy Soldiers, Castleroy declares that he doesn't want any money from Greer’s family, he just wants her. Beyond helping his future wife, he also helps her sisters by giving Greer the final word on who they marry so that they can marry for love.

This causes an argument between Leith and Yvette. The two decide to talk about their relationship the next day. Greer asks Leith to close his relationship with Yvette because if it becomes serious, they will be related and this would cause too much pain for both.
