Cassie Hamilton was supposed to be a pawn-brilliant, beautiful, and born to power. With a father revered as medical royalty and a mother seated on the board of a secret global organization, she was the perfect mark in a much larger game.
Heath Ramirez knew what he needed: an alliance strong enough to reclaim his birthright-the throne of a Spanish kingdom lost to a French-backed dictatorship. Raised in exile, trained in shadows, Heath didn't come to Wellingtonshire University to teach. He came to conquer.
But Cassie didn't play by anyone's rules.
And somewhere between obsession, betrayal, and the moment she looked down at a pregnancy test marked with two faint lines...
The game changed.
Now, a child grows beneath her ribs.
Not just an heir.
A symbol.
A weapon.
A future king-or queen.
And maybe-just maybe-something dangerously close to love.
