A princess must give up her dream life to fulfill her duties and marry a man she doesn't even know…
Princess Katarina "Kati" Barringer Hawthorne of Matlagonia thrives in the quiet life she's carved out in Brighton Bluff, away from her emotionally detached parents and the expectations of the citizens of their tiny country. Expectations which require her to marry another royal she's never even met!
If she were marrying Reece Kerrigan, her best friend since moving to Brighton Bluff, she would have no qualms about moving back to Matlagonia. Reece is kind and considerate, a man of faith and integrity, a man she's grown to depend on. His easy-going friendship and warm smiles brighten her days, making her wish that things could be different, that she was born into a normal family, and she can't imagine a life without him. But her parents arranged her marriage decades ago, hoping to unite the two adjoining countries into one powerful force, so they would never approve of any deviations from that plan.
Chandler "Reece" Archibald-Kerrigan never intended to deceive Kati. What started as his only decent chance to get to know his bride-to-be without the trappings of kingdom responsibilities or parental meddling snowballed into a friendship that spanned years and made him fall deeper in love with the strong and beautiful Princess Katarina.
But when she receives the email from her father, demanding that she return home to fulfil her duties and marry, well, him, will the truth finally set her free from the obligation to marry? Will his faith, his friendship, and his enduring love be enough to sway her to fuse their lives and their countries? Or will his secret destroy their friendship and any hope of a forever love?
