A spinoff/sequel of A Deceptive Beauty (not required to read but it has more background info). *Not edited* Sebastian Hunter has been summoned to court to be the prince. His relationship with his father, the king, has never been strong, but court has a way of forcing people to make connections. He must play the dutiful part of being His Royal Highness, or risk handing the future throne to despicable candidates, all while trying to figure out how to dodge assassins and deal with his love life.
