When a fake marriage becomes entangled with genuine feelings, the stakes couldn't be higher—especially when your "husband" is the enemy prince responsible for devastating your family. You tell yourself this union is purely strategic, a political necessity, but his charm and promises slowly crack the walls around your heart until you've done the unthinkable: fallen for him and become pregnant with his child. But when you discover he's already promised himself to another, you realize his sweetest words were nothing but beautiful lies, and you're left with an impossible choice about the secret you're carrying. This sweeping romance explores the dangerous territory between love and betrayal, asking whether some bonds can be forged even in the aftermath of war.
