It's a little Long
He was raised for war.
She was born for society.
And the Queen has decided their fates will collide.
Prince Darius is a soldier before he is a prince. Hardened by battle, bound by duty, and loyal beyond question to his country, his people, and his family, he has never allowed himself the luxury of romance. Love, he believes, is a weakness-one that has no place on the battlefield or the throne.
But London has a way of disrupting even the most disciplined of men.
When Prince Darius arrives in England to visit his sister, Viscountess Abeni Bridgerton, he intends only a brief stay-long enough to ensure her happiness, assess her safety, and return home to war and command. What he does not expect is the sharp gaze of Her Majesty Queen Charlotte... or her sudden interest in his future.
For the Queen has plans.
Lady Edwina Sharma is everything society admires: graceful, intelligent, kind, and untouched by scandal. She is the perfect match on paper-gentle where he is severe, poised where he is battle-worn. A union the Queen insists would bring balance, peace, and perhaps even soften a man forged in fire.
Yet Prince Darius does not bend easily.
And hearts, as London knows all too well, rarely obey royal decree.
As glances linger too long, conversations grow dangerously honest, and duty clashes with desire, one question remains:
Can a man who knows only war learn to fight for love?
And can a woman raised to please society risk her heart on a man who has never been taught how to keep one?
Because in the Ton, even a soldier-prince is not beyond the reach of fate...
-or Lady Whistledown.
