Thrones and Passion

Evelyn Lancaster, a strong and resilient teacher and daughter of the late Knight Commander, sees her world overturned when she is forced to marry Prince Elijah to settle her father’s debt. What she doesn’t know is that Elijah—the ambitious son of the king’s second wife—intends to use her as a pawn in his bid for the throne, after a royal decree declared that whoever weds a noblewoman first will secure the crown. Thrust into a ruthless game of power between the king’s two families, Evelyn quickly becomes the target of schemes, framed and punished at every turn. Yet even under fire, her courage and spirit refuse to bend. But resilience has its limits when the heart begins to stray. Evelyn finds herself drawn not to her betrothed, but to the Crown Prince. Prince Nicholas, the rightful heir and a single father to a spirited five-year-old, is a man bound by duty and honor. He knows desiring his brother’s fiancée is forbidden, dangerous, and could cost him everything—including his crown. Still, no matter how hard he fights it, there is something about Evelyn Lancaster that pulls him closer, something he cannot resist. A forbidden love. A kingdom divided. And a choice that could destroy them all.
