Bound by Duty, Burned by Desire

A princess known for her sharp tongue and even sharper mind never expected her future to be decided for her. But when she's forced into an arranged marriage with a powerful German nobleman feared throughout Europe, she has no choice but to play her role.

The problem? She can't stand him.

Cold, arrogant, and hiding scars that run deeper than the ones on his face, he seems determined to make her life miserable. And she's more than willing to return the favor.

But behind palace walls filled with secrets, betrayal, and dangerous political games, their hatred begins to blur into something far more complicated. Stolen glances turn into lingering touches. Arguments become undeniable tension. And the more they learn about each other, the harder it becomes to ignore the fire growing between them.

In a world where trust is deadly and love is a weakness, they'll have to decide whether to protect their hearts-or risk everything for a passion that could destroy them both.

Bound by duty. Burned by desire.
