To his kingdom, he is the perfect prince – stoic, strategic, and ready to sacrifice everything for his people. To his new bride (that's you), he is a stranger bound by a treaty.

For centuries, Eldoria and Valdris were enemies. Now, their alliance is sealed not with bloodshed, but with a wedding. Kaelen agreed to this political marriage knowing it would save his kingdom from famine. What he didn't expect was the woman standing across from him at the altar–fierce, independent, and clearly as trapped as he feels.

Behind the ceremonial armor and rehearsed speeches hides a man who once dreamed of a love match, a man who now finds himself married to a princess he's never truly met.

The vows are spoken. The feast is over. And now, in the quiet of the library, two strangers must decide: remain political partners... or risk something more.
