Dragon King's Duty Bride
(2026)(The third book in the Alpha Dragon Kings of Silver Peaks series)
A novel by Alicia Banks
Dragon King Lucas loved once—and when his queen left this world, she took his heart with her.
Years later, duty demands he marry again. To secure the throne’s future, he must marry his late wife’s sister.
What begins as a forced marriage of obligation between two grieving souls soon becomes a battle of loyalty, resentment, and a desire neither of them expected.
Lucas
Dian was everything to me—my true mate. Our daughters were our world, but before she died, we never had the heir the kingdom demanded.
Marrying Sia was never about love. It was about duty. Stability for the throne.
But now she has left the castle and I’m no longer certain she will ever return, I realize something that terrifies me more than failing my kingdom.
It isn’t loyalty that’s breaking my heart.
Sia
I never wanted to marry Lucas—my brother-in-law.
But it was either me or another woman who might never love my nieces the way I do.
I sacrificed my own dreams to protect them, knowing I would always be the replacement wife—the shadow of the sister he truly loved.
Yet the more I see the man Lucas is with his daughters, the harder it becomes to keep my distance.
But he has always loved his first wife, and I know there will never be a place in his heart meant for me.
And now that I’ve finally found the courage to walk away and reclaim my life… my heart isn’t certain it wants to leave him behind.
When duty forces two broken hearts together, can the love they build become stronger than the love that came before?
