The first experiment ended in a wedding.
Now the kingdom wants another.
Prince Valentine Knight is adored by everyone-because he's charming, polite, and never lets anyone see what he's really feeling. The kingdom thinks he's easy to love.
Queen Talya knows better.
So she pairs him with someone who doesn't believe in princes at all:
Sebastian Pierce Hook-son of Captain Hook, raised on the Isle, built from saltwater, scars, and survival.
It's supposed to be fake. Strategic. Supervised. Temporary.
But Sebastian doesn't bow. Valentine doesn't break. And the more the kingdom watches them, the more dangerous it becomes-because the one thing this experiment can't control is what happens when two people start choosing each other for real.
