Arranged to wed by their families, a royal couple find their objections overruled by their mutual passion in this forced-proximity romance.

Prince Leo's cold upbringing ensured love was out of his reach. He doesn't think twice about agreeing to the political union his family has always coveted. Until Princess Violetta disappears on their wedding day . . .

Surrendering her power to a man is unacceptable to Violetta—even if that man sets her alight with a single glance. But when Leo tracks her down and they are stranded together, he's not the enemy she first thought . . . Her independence is nonnegotiable. Yet a temporary alliance could be more pleasurable than Violetta ever imagined.
