Robbing the Prince's Heart
(2026)(The first book in the Prince & the Rebel series)
A novel by Karen Daliath
Seduce the prince. Steal the gold. Disappear.What if Robin Hood was a girl—and no one knew until she exposed her identity at the Golden Arrow tournament because she was annoyed that everyone thought she was a man?
Which was either incredibly bold or downright stupid, because now there are posters of the masked girl plastered across every street.
And the crown prince himself has been sent to hunt her down.
His trail leads him to the very town Meren calls home, where he rents rooms at her family’s inn. And he has no clue that the innkeeper’s oldest granddaughter is the very woman he is looking for.
Meren, however, knows exactly who he is—even undercover. And she intends to use that to her advantage. If she can woo her way into the prince’s heart, she might just find her way into the royal treasury, too.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well...
This is no tale where the wicked heroine loses her heart in the process.
This is the one where he falls hard—and she just keeps pretending to fall.
