I’ve been a prince in exile, but I’m finally going home, tarnished crown and all. This time, I won’t let anyone keep me away…Not Ariel, the woman I left behind. Not the killer on my tail. Hell, not even my cousin—the king—can stop me. Unlike my conniving brother, I have no designs on the throne. Let better men rule. But I do have a score to settle. Everything was going just fine until Ariel is assigned to my protection detail. Little Miss Hates My Guts will ruin everything. One look at her and I know it’s not over between us . All I have to do is convince her I never forgot her…and not get dead in the process.

For her I risked it all, but was it worth her paying the price? She knows my secret. Now, what will she do to protect it and the crown.What will I be willing to do to protect her?That answer is easy…everything.
