About this eBook

All protocol goes out the window when an innocent crown princess encounters a playboy ready to break all the rules in this royal romance from Clare Connelly!

My deal with the billionaire…
Just got complicated!

As crown princess of Marlsdoven, I was taught honor, resilience, leadership… Yet now I’m sitting in front of the most infuriatingly determined and sexy man, completely lost for words! Santiago del Almodovár wants to build his sordid casino on my land? Well, it’s my duty to protect my citizens!

But every syllable he utters awakens a raging hunger inside me. Now he’s demanding I go to Spain with him—alone—to see his empire and prove I’m wrong. Ruling a nation may be hard, but denying our chemistry? Unthinkable!

From Harlequin Presents: Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds.

Ratings and reviews

Developer Santiago needs permission from Princess Freja before he can build a casino in her country. The tourism money is much needed, but she has a personal aversion to gambling. Santiago suggests she spend a few days at his casino in Barcelona so she can make a more informed choice. She agrees, knowing the risk. For the first in her life, she feels attracted to a man. But what good could come from a fling with playboy Santiago? Besides, before their deaths, her parents arranged a marriage for her with another man—another royal. Does she dare go against her parents' wishes and follow her heart? This opposites-attract royal romance is touching, emotional, and steamy. I was happy to see the asexual representation. The obstacles between the characters were strong and deep-seated in their past experiences, which makes for a satisfying ending when they manage to work past their differences. Thanks, NetGalley, f0r the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
