Mesmerize Me

Arianna Dartez is a simple farm girl from the outskirts of Ederall. She loved her nation--well, aside from the royal family, whom she hated since they barely cared about the nation's citizens. Ederall held the beautiful fields of Jarashed, and the rivers flowed freely. Arianna had all she could have ever wished for: her loving family, trustworthy friends, and graduating from the top of her class.

And then she met him. Though Ayden Cazer was from a slightly richer part of the neighborhood, he harbored no ill feelings towards who had less money than him. To Arianna, he was new, but familiar. Enchanting, but mysterious. Their attraction was undeniable-it radiated through the air like the heat during a hot summer day. And slowly, they began to fall for each other, more and more each day.
Alas, no love story could ever be complete without complications. But this was not a problem with an easy fix-death was the only solution.

Ayden is not her prince on the white horse Arianna thought him to be. In fact, he is the prince-the rumored snobby, uptight, greedy prince. At once, she feels bitter resentment towards him. Her love morphs into the hate she felt towards the royals. And now, it has increased by his deceiving-he lied to her and didn't tell her his real identity and now his coronation is to happen within weeks. But how could he have told her and his own father the truth? That he was a prince who was in love with the farm girl?

Now, she needs a plan. He needs a queen. And they both need it fast.

Her hatred clouding her rational thoughts, Arianna sought the only thing she thought was right: revenge. How perfect could it be to trick Ayden into thinking she truly loved him but secretly seek revenge? In her mind the plan is impeccable, but what if her initial feelings are just buried under her animosity?

Will Arianna and Ayden's eternal love overcome the indomitable hatred and bloom into a forbidden love?
