Prince Antonio Aussa doesn't need a soulmate; he needs a signature and a woman who can play the part of a perfect royal bride for exactly one year.

I'm drowning in student debt and desperate enough to take a job that starts with a contract and ends with a crown I never asked for.

The rules are as cold as the Mediterranean is deep: no feelings, no intimacy, and absolutely no falling for the man behind the title.

But as the cameras flash and the palace doors close, the "strictly business" Prince is starting to look at me with a hunger that isn't in the script.

I signed my name on the dotted line to save my future, but now I'm realizing that living a lie might be easier than surviving the truth of what happens when the lights go out.

The price of a kingdom is higher than I ever imagined, and you can witness the scandal unfold when you buy now.
