When duty to his kingdom...meets desire for his enemy!

Newly crowned King Benedikt is on a mission to prove he’s nothing like his corrupt father — despite what Princess Annalena believes. Their rival aristocratic families have a long, bitter history, so when Annalena presents proof that the throne is rightfully hers, he counters — with a royal wedding demand!

Orphaned as a child, Annalena longs for love, not a marriage contract. But if becoming Benedikt’s queen is what it takes to ensure the country thrives, she’ll meet him at the altar. She won’t allow her attraction to the infuriating royal to derail her!
