A Pulse-Pounding Romance About a Daring Rescue, Forbidden Love, and Ultimate Sacrifice
The royal wedding of the year… might just be a fairy tale…
Princess Tahira never expected to face an arranged marriage. But after her mother's near-fatal illness, King Rajeemh gives his only daughter an ultimatum: choose a husband within forty days or have one chosen for her. Determined to enjoy one last taste of freedom before her future is decided, Tahira joins her cousins on a luxury cruise—only to find herself caught in a nightmare she never saw coming.
Trident Security operative Darius Knight has spent months undercover, infiltrating a dangerous human trafficking cartel. Just as he's preparing to bring the organization down, a new shipment arrives—and with it, a woman he's sworn to protect. Saving the princess could destroy everything he's worked for. Leaving her behind is not an option.
When a daring rescue goes awry, Darius makes a split-second decision that changes both of their lives. As Tahira's deadline approaches, they must navigate unwanted attention, royal expectations, and a growing attraction neither can deny.
