"You seem to be under the impression that the world revolves around you." She stated pushing him off her and straightening her dress, "I'll have you know that not everyone has to dance to your tune."

"Why not? I'm the king." He stated smirking at her, "You seem to be forgetting that little detail."

"Prince." She corrected, "You haven't been crowned yet."

"Not for much longer." He said darkly all humor gone from his gaze and posture.

"Even then, I'll never dance to your tune." She provoked feeling a rush of danger pass through her.

"Careful Admah." He warned, "I'm not one to back down from a challenge."

"Neither am I." And just for emphasis sake, "Your Highness."

Following the war and defeat of his sister in Myknos, Khalid returns home to restore order to his unstable kingdom.

Months later, he has achieved his goal, a wife or love the last thing on his mind despite the Council's constant reminder.

What happens when the Council forces his hand by abducting girls from their home including the smart mouthed dark skinned beauty that hated him with a burning passion?

Will he be able to resist how the defiance in her honey eyes made his heart beat faster?

Admah had always lived her life as the carefree only daughter of the Governor of Calneh, a bustling merchant city that didn't lose its life even during the war.

Her wish was to find a man that loved her the way her father loved her mother but with her too dark skin, she was often rejected by the noble peerage.

What happens when she's forcefully dragged from her home and thrust into the palace where she meets the calm and not at all tyrannous prince Khalid?

Will she be able to ignore the burning attraction she feels for this noble Prince and return to the home she missed? Or will she continue to fight through the competition he wanted so bad to make her lose?
