Just as she thought she’d made it, an entire new destiny opened up… She’s a real-life princess, and she might just be pregnant to another… Ria Benson is experiencing her first taste of success, but before she can start to enjoy it, her plans change cataclysmically. Stunned to learn she is a deceased royal’s secret heir, she finds herself leaving her life in Chicago behind, swapping waitressing shifts for lessons in royal etiquette as she’s readied to take up the leadership of a small but vibrant Middle Eastern nation. Zarif Al Faheem is the man overseeing her mentorship - a popular politician from a rival family - who until the revelation of Ria’s existence, believed himself to be the next in line to rule. A tug of war ensues between the two would-be leaders, but their race to outdo one another belies a deeper pull that grows increasingly difficult to ignore. Will Ria convince Zarif that there’s more to leadership than devious politics? Or will his underhanded tactics cause her to walk away from her birthright, and a love story set in motion centuries before? Unbeknownst to both of them, fate has other plans… Perhaps a surprise baby can be the key to uniting the warring clans, or is history doomed to repeat itself?
