Alice. First thing you should know about me: I'm on my honeymoon on Villroy Island without my groom, which was a no-brainer given how my ex-fiancé decided to "accidentally" fall in love with my best friend. I don't want to talk about it.



Second thing: I'm a romance author on a generously extended deadline, and I've sworn to use this time away productively. I'm about to admit defeat when a prince with an image problem falls into my lap. And for some crazy reason, it's decided that me posing as his fiancé would be a good idea. The last thing I want is to actually be committed to someone, but a fake engagement may make this next book write itself.



Lucas. I want to contribute to the kingdom, be part of the legacy. I should be the CEO of our new business venture, but my oldest brother, Gabriel, the king, blocks me at every turn, convinced I'm too flighty. So when Gabriel's wife, Anna, offers me a chance to prove myself with the bankers, and the only catch is bringing along a fake fiancé, I reluctantly agree. I never expected to fall. Yet here I am, hell-bent on convincing a woman afraid to get involved that she belongs with me.
