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
