In a kingdom full of political intrigue, forbidden romances, and... questionable dukes, three royal brothers face the ultimate test of wit, willpower, and the unbearable creepiness of one overly persistent duke, Alaric.
Alistair, the stoic heir, remains unfazed by anything short of a natural disaster, while Damien, the sarcastic middle prince, spends most of his time dodging Alaric's advances with eye rolls and witty comebacks. Meanwhile, Cedric, the clueless third prince, has no idea what's going on but is clearly uncomfortable with every interaction.
As the pervy duke continues his relentless pursuit of handsome royalty, the princes must navigate their lives while avoiding being cornered in dark hallways by the kingdom's creepiest noble. Between awkward dinner conversations, seduction attempts that would make a toad blush, and enough sarcasm to sink a ship, it's anyone's guess how these brothers will survive Alaric's antics without throwing him off a balcony first.
Will the thorny royals outwit their lusty adversary, or will the cunning duke finally win the crown... and maybe a prince or two? Probably not, but it's fun to watch him try.
When the shunned sixth princess of Evelande invents a teleportation device, she accidentally transports herself to Vembrose - a kingdom on the brink of war with her own. Erin Luvenescer's quiet life in her secluded tower is abruptly disrupted when she's captured by the enemy Prince. Though she manages to escape, he is determined to find her again, especially after their fateful encounter causes his powers to mysteriously vanish.
A tyrant ruler, rumoured to have seized the throne by slaughtering his own family. A scheming serpent of a man, like the villains in her story books. When he appears before her as an uninvited guest at Evelande's royal ball, the man offers her a deal she can't refuse.
"Come back to Vembrose with me and find a way to get my insignia back," leaning into her ear, he speaks almost in a whisper. "Understand, you are a hostage in this situation. It would be in your best interest to avoid any refusal."
To broker peace between their nations, the pair feign an engagement, and Erin steps out of her secluded tower to assume the role of the prince's pretend fiancée. As she navigates her new responsibilities, she also aids in the search for a way to restore his lost powers.
Erin's primary goal is simple: fix his abilities and go home. However, as she becomes more involved, she discovers a crucial factor that could alter their arrangement.
"Falling in love was never part of the plan!"
