When a suitor comes hoping to win Princess Suzanna's heart, her whole world is turned upside down. With a reputation of talking far too much and wild red hair to match her temper, Suzanna can't imagine what the Duke of Adryrwen sees in her. In a sudden decision, she accepts the betrothal. But the more Suzanna questions whether she is ready to marry, the more her heart is drawn to another. When Suzanna discovers a startling, unsettling secret about the Duke, she turns to Samuel, knight and close friend to her brother, for help. In the midst of the fear and desperation, Samuel and Suzanna are pulled closer and closer together. It does not take long for the two to realise they are falling for each other. But a betrothal is not easily broken, nor is a knight welcome to marry a Princess. The fight for her heart just became a whole lot harder. (Book #2)

But not all are supportive of a friendship between a Prince and a servant... The Prince wanting to change; the beggar needing to heal; a danger racing towards them. The fight against her heart is about to turn into the fight for her life. (Book #1) Highest rank: #1 in Christ!!!
