Forbidden Crown

A contract that starts with a crown... and ends with a heart I swore I'd never give.

Prince Antonio Aussa doesn't need a soulmate—he needs a signature and a woman who can play the perfect royal bride for exactly one year. I'm drowning in student debt and desperate enough to take a job that starts with a contract and ends with a crown I never asked for.

The rules are as cold as the Mediterranean is deep: no feelings, no intimacy, and absolutely no falling for the man behind the title. But as the cameras flash and the palace doors close, the "strictly business" Prince is starting to look at me with a hunger that isn't in the script.

This fake marriage was supposed to be simple. Sign the papers, smile for the photographers, and walk away rich enough to start over. But Antonio's forbidden touch burns hotter than the Mediterranean sun, and every stolen glance behind closed doors makes it harder to remember why I can't fall for the grumpy prince who's starting to let his walls crumble.

When palace secrets threaten to destroy everything we've built—real or pretend—I'll have to choose between the freedom I've always wanted and the royal romance I never saw coming.

Coming Next: FORBIDDEN PRINCE

The royal family's most notorious playboy meets his brother's bride's best friend—and their secret, late-night encounters under the Mediterranean stars are about to get deadly.

If you love the forbidden royals of Meghan March, the palace intrigue of Geneva Lee, and the charming princes of Emma Chase, you'll devour this addictive series of interconnected royal romances.
