Tessa Thorne has built a career torching the powerful—especially the royals and their noble lapdogs. Sharp tongue, sharper pen, zero patience for crowns. Then she collides—quite literally—with Crown Prince all quiet steel, a heartbreaking smile, and unnaturally good hair that really has no right to exist. Their sparks are immediate, inconvenient, and impossible to hide. One reckless kiss becomes a partnership neither of them she’s drafted to wrangle his public image; he keeps showing up where she swore she’d never let a prince stand—too close. But as chemistry turns to something far more dangerous, whispers of an old prophecy begin to surface, and shadows gather at the edges of their world. Between cameras and courtrooms, secrets and stolen moments, Tessa must decide what she’s willing to risk for a man she was raised to hate. Because love might be the most treasonous act of all—and destiny is far less patient than the press.
