Royal dukes from rival countries, shipwrecked on a deserted island. The grudge match of the centuryโor a love story of super-heroic proportions?
Sander Fiala, Duke of Roses, is fourth in line to the South Abarran throne, even though his rogue power earned him the nickname โThe Monster of Rosesโ and got him banished from the Castle. But right before heโs about to set off on his annual birthday sailing trip, the Queen asks him to meet with the notoriously volatile North Abarran Duke of Arles.
Tarik Jaso, Duke of Arles, expects the worst from people becauseโletโs face itโpeople are the worst. His superpower bombards him with any and all electronic transmissions, which...yeah, people suck. So when heโs attacked and wakes up in the cabin of a stranded boat, he knows heโs royally screwed. Because the man looming over himโthe man heโd gone toe-to-toe with right before the attackโis the infamous Monster of Roses.
Tarik is positive the Monster is behind his kidnapping. Sander is sure the whole thing is Tarikโs fault. As they work toward rescue, Tarik realizes that the disturbingly hot Sander is no monster, and Sander discovers that Tarikโs temper masks a caring soul wrapped in a cantankerous (though undeniably sexy) body.
For their burgeoning connection to endure, theyโll have to duke it out with political factions, dark conspiracies, and centuries of traditions that keep them on opposite sides of the border.
But first? They have to get off this damn island.
