Their love ignites an international scandal. Ambassador Bryce Fielding Lewis is an expert at diffusing tension, but nothing in his diplomatic training prepared him for Prince Arthur Phillip. Arthur is sharp-tongued, devastatingly handsome, and has a reckless streak that makes him a catastrophe in a bespoke suit. He’s the crown’s most stunning jewel—and he’s entirely off-limits. When they first meet sparks fly, and behind closed palace doors, the rules of diplomacy don’t just bend; they shatter. Their chemistry is a powder keg, and their stolen nights are the spark. But in the age of the 24-hour news cycle, secrets don't stay hidden for long. When their private heat becomes global tabloid fodder, the fallout is immediate. Every headline threatens Bryce’s hard-won career, and every flashbulb forces Arthur to choose between the weight of his royal blood and the man he can’t let go of. In a world of cold protocols and rigid expectations, falling in love was the easy part. Surviving the scandal? That’s the real test.
