Prince Kirito Sato of America has lived his entire life under the weight of tradition and political expectation. As the only heir to the American throne, he's always known marriage would be a matter of strategy, not love. But when his father offers him one year to fall in love and choose his own spouse-or else be wed to a foreign princess of political convenience-Kirito sees a chance to finally claim his own future. He just never expected his heart would lead him straight into enemy territory. Prince Justin Moralles of Mexico is everything Kirito shouldn't want-bold, brilliant, and the son of a rival royal family with a long history of tension and bitter diplomacy. When fate throws them together during a tense international summit, what starts as icy politeness quickly melts into something far more dangerous: desire. As Kirito and Justin are drawn closer by shared burdens and forbidden attraction, their growing bond threatens to upend generations of rivalry. With the eyes of two nations on them and the clock ticking down, Kirito must make an impossible choice: protect his crown-or fight for the love that could change everything.
