Arabella Von Ascheberg has spent her entire life in the shadow of her older sister, Camilla, the future queen of Eldorra. As the second princess, she's expected to be perfect, poised, and dutiful-but beneath the surface, Arabella craves something more. Freedom. Control. The ability to make her own choices.
When the royal family enters into a new diplomatic partnership with the powerful Chen family, Arabella is reluctantly thrust into an alliance with the one man she never wanted to work with: Jeremy Chen. Son of a billionaire magnate, known for his sharp mind and arrogant charm, Jeremy is as insufferable as he is captivating.
But beneath the confident exterior lies a sharp negotiator with a dark past. As the two are forced to collaborate on a high-stakes international project, Arabella soon realizes that Jeremy might be the one person who can understand the weight of the crown-and the desire to break free from it.
Power, ambition, and passion collide as Arabella and Jeremy play a dangerous game of politics and desire. Can they keep their hands off each other long enough to pull off their mission, or will their twisted desire lead them down a path they're both reluctant to follow?
