Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco.
It’s a big deal.
When she’s crowned
at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s
charming, clever, confident and cunning.
What she isn’t…is
married.
It’s her advising
council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her
people want.
Lenora has no desire
to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But
compromises must be made and royals must do their duty.
Even
Queens. Especially them.
**
Years ago, Edward
Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s
an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants,
when he wants—until family devotion brings him home.
And a sacred promise
keeps him there.
To Edward, the
haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly
captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest
adventure.
**
Within the cold,
stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an
undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever.
Every dynasty has a
beginning. Every legend starts with a story.
This is theirs.

My review: I enjoyed Lenora and Edward's story. Their chemistry definitely was palpable and their interactions were fun. What brought them back together was horribly sad and actually made me cry a bit. It ended up working out for them, but beware if reading out in public. I loved that Edward supported Lenora and didn't try to undermine her role as Queen. She also showed great faith and trust in him. They had a true partnership, even when it started out as an arranged marriage. Their love bloomed into a true partnership. I definitely recommend this book.

Dayna Quince was only fourteen when she developed a serious addiction to romance novels. What began as an innocent desire to read became an all-out obsession with the romance genre. She gave book reports on romance novels, got in trouble for reading during lectures, and would rather spend her time reading than attending high school parties. After all, high school boys could not compete with the likes of Stephanie Laurens Devil Cynster. After getting her first job, her addiction only got worse. She now had her own money to spend and a car to get to Barnes and Noble as frequently as she wanted. She managed to maintain a somewhat normal life, marrying her high school boyfriend who was aware he was competing with fictional men for her attention. Dayna soon began writing her own romance novels, inspired by her love for all things romance. Dayna and her husband live in Southern California with their two children and three fur babies. Dayna is happiest at home where she can be with her family and write to her heart’s content.
