About this ebook

Leopold is the rebel King of Avce, a man whose reputation is a minefield of scandals, late nights, and broken rules.

I’m his no-nonsense secretary, the woman who keeps his secrets buried and his throne secure while I hide my own feelings behind a professional mask.

Now, the clock has run out, and the only way he keeps his crown is if he marries a woman who can tame his wild public image.

He isn't looking at the socialites or the princesses—he’s looking at me, the one person who knows exactly how dark his secrets really are.

A marriage of convenience is a dangerous game when I already know the weight of his gaze and the way his voice sounds when we’re the only two left in the office.

The lines between boss and employee are blurring into a beautiful, chaotic mess that neither of us can escape, so find out if the secretary can truly rule the king when you buy now.

Ratings and reviews

FYI: This book is actually the prequel to the Princes of Avce series. Although titled as book 9, it is the story of Prince Leopold and Princess Anna and their courtship. I did find Prince Leopold annoying for his lack of backbone; therefore, I rated this book 3 stars. I have enjoyed each book by this author and this one was no exception. I was a little confused until I realized that this book preceded the Princes of Avce series. (It helps if you actually read the book blurb! Lol) Now I need to go back and find out what happened to Francesca's baby. A great series and this book is a clean romance.

I loved the ninth book in the Princes of Avce Series. This was a fun book to read and it had lots of twists and some drama. Crown Prince Leopold was quite a mess with a party animal reputation filled with hot models and endless parties. Sparks fly with Anna, his assistant but she is determined to protect her job and try to resist his advances. She realizes that he is really a different person than his image presents. A little bit of Cinderella and an old flame trying to cause some drama. Strong characters and an entertaining read. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review.
