Blurb:
One day a mysterious handsome, but rude, man comes by Jade's home. She learns that she has been promised to him without her consent and her objections are futile. This handsome stranger is of a higher social status; as prince. Jade cannot fathom why he has decided to take her as his wife, they have never met before and what does he want with a simple girl like her?
Jade is a girl of neither noble or royal blood. She is a simple farmer's daughter who's warm at heart but has a mouth that more than often gets her into trouble. She will not accept being treated like an object but this prince seems almost immune to her sharp words and objections. The only thing he simply cannot ignore is Jade's stubborn and crude nature.
William is Jade's complete opposite. As a rude and hot-tempered young prince, he is not the most pleasant man to be around. He wastes no words were none is needed and is emotionally distant. However, he has his eyes and heart set on Jade and won't let anything, or anyone, get in his way to make her his.
Whom of the two is the most stubborn? Who will cave first? Will Jade accept her fate and marry this rude and arrogant prince? Can she even love someone like him?
