Meet the Princess
As beautiful as she is stubborn, Mei-Kim of the Ji is loyal to her father and her kingdom, but now she questions whether that is the virtue her teachers claim. Mei-Kim's life slips from her grasp when her father arranges for her to marry for the sake of peace. Her fiancé is the prince of Shu, her people's mortal enemies. Now Mei-Kim must navigate a tricky balance, determined to overcome the deadly game of politics. She wants a companion who sees her as a true equal. Is Prince Kozumi that man? Pulled apart by two conflicting cultures, Mei-Kim and her prince must discover each other even as they try to prevent hostilities from escalating out of control.
Enter the Mate-To-Be
Kozumi is a prince with the intelligence, confidence, and convictions befitting his warrior heritage, but will that be enough? For all his outer calm, Kozumi is tantalized by the difficult-to-read princess and feels out of his depth whenever she's around. He desires peace, yet he knows that the wedding is mere formality compared to the uphill battle that lies ahead as he tries to show Mei-Kim that he is worthy to be called confidante, ally, and closest friend.
Surviving in the Center of the Storm
Before the end comes, Mei-Kim must contend with factions on both sides who see this delicate peace - and their marriage - as a threat. When Mei-Kim's very own end up betraying her, she will discover the real nature of the new man in her life - and whether Kozumi is truly friend…or foe.
