Fay Lara just didn’t care. The fact that the totally kissable guy she had just physically abused was actually the Crown Prince of the country? He can be freaking Santa Clause for all she cared. Why you may ask? Because he’s an ass who deserved it, that's why. Gentle Reminder: This book was written when I was young and fanciful, thus, as side effect of being young and fanciful, many grievous errors of grammar, loop holes and spelling mistakes had unintentionally been committed. However, I am in the middle of correcting said errors so tread with care. You have been warned.
