Alexander is the second born prince of New Britain, and the spare to his fathers throne. He lives at the very top of a society divided deeply by caste, yet still yearns for freedom and the ability to escape the arranged marriage he's been preparing for since he was nine. 
     When his kingdom is seized and he's kidnapped by Ronan Ramus, the infamous sailor king, and forced into a life of indentured servitude, he discovers not only  the love of his life, but a dangerous group of outsiders known as "The Agency," spearheaded by Dorian de La Cour- a man he isn't sure wants to save him, or break him. He'll have to choose between Dorian and Ben; the kind, but fast talking red haired boy who's been working under Ramus since he was born, and knows nothing outside the palace walls- but knows exactly where to lay his hands. 
     With war between all three kingdoms quickly approaching, and a devious plot that may very well spell the end for the world as he knows it- Alexander may not make the right choice until it's too late.

If you haven't read that, spoilers will be in this description.*** Catherine Carter has done what no one, including her, thought she would be able to do. She's gotten past a lot of her anxiety issues, made some friends, fallen in love, and has been named the top student of the Royal Academy. She's the first in line to become the next queen of Alumbridge, and be married to the Prince. Except, the Prince and her have had a falling out because of the secrets he's hidden from her. While they had originally fallen in love, Catherine can't tell if any of the actions or words of affirmation have been real. And with him being in on the protest she started against his establishment, she's feeling like she's been betrayed. Four months later, the Academy is opening back up, and Catherine is as numb and emotional as she's ever been. She feels eager to go back to continue her protest and see her friends, but she's also scared to go back and face the Prince who she still has overwhelming feelings towards. As antagonistic forces loom in the distance, and Catherine's protest gets closer and closer to becoming an event, Catherine has to confront everything that she's come to know and believe so far. She has to confront both the past actions and past emotions that she's been putting off dealing with for the past few months. She has to figure out a way to work with the Prince, who she'd rather not see ever again, and deal with the revelations regarding him. But most of all, Catherine has to decide if she wants to continue on her current life path, or make a decision that will change the trajectory of her life forever.

"Is being ridiculously tall a requirement for dairy farmers?" I blurt out. "Not exactly," Noah says, looking me over. I feel a bit self-conscious under his intense gaze. "Is it a habit for kitchen princesses to spray milk in their own face?" "Definitely not," I reply quickly. "And I'm not a kitchen princess." *** Finn Cooper thought he had his life perfectly planned-a loving boyfriend, a promising career in hospitality management, and the dream of becoming a chef just within reach. But when his estranged father dies, Finn is forced to return to Forestville, the small, conservative village he left behind years ago. Faced with the crumbling remains of his father's farm, Finn discovers he's not the only heir. Noah Moreno-the infuriatingly smug, yet maddeningly attractive owner of a local dairy empire-has a claim to the property too. With nowhere else to stay, Finn is reluctantly taken in by the Moreno family. Forced to work alongside Noah to prepare the farm for sale, their constant bickering ignites a fiery tension Finn can't ignore-and one that might not just be anger. As Finn uncovers long-buried secrets about his father and battles the unexpected chemistry with Noah, he must confront his past, navigate his heart, and decide if his future lies in the chaos of Forestville-or somewhere he never imagined. A heartwarming, slow-burn romance packed with culinary dreams, tangled emotions, and the beauty of finding yourself where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Hating Game.
