An enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, royal romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Annie West. 

When duty to his kingdom… 
meets desire for his enemy! 

Newly crowned King Benedikt is on a mission to prove he’s nothing like his corrupt father—despite what Princess Annalena believes… Their rival aristocratic families have a long, bitter history, so when Annalena presents proof that the throne is rightfully hers, he counters—with a royal wedding demand!

Orphaned as a child, Annalena longs for love, not a marriage contract. But if becoming Benedikt’s queen is what it takes to ensure the country thrives, she’ll meet him at the altar. She won’t allow her attraction to the infuriating royal to derail her! 

"...Enemies with a bitter past hinting at conspiracy, secrets and intrigue, forced into a marriage of convenience to prevent a scandal, and a bit of sizzle and sass between the Hero and Heroine what’s not to like. ... more than ticked all the boxes for me it is a fabulous ⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️ book!!!!!" ~ Peta, Goodreads

"This is a wonderful story that will have you reading late into the night. I just couldn't stop. I'm hooked from the first chapter to the last. if you like feel good stories this is for you!" ~ Ellie, Goodreads

"Can an arranged royal marriage work in this day and age? Readers, in the wonderful hands of Annie West (slight spoiler) it might be able to! Benedikt and Annalena are strong people, unselfishly putting Prinzenberg before their own needs … until maybe they don’t have to(?!). I loved the royal scenes, the intelligent dignity of these two beautiful people, and the epic romance." ~ Australian Romance Readers . . . Reviews Continue
