BLURB
Notorious for leaping off roofs,
maiming foreign royals, and that twerking
incident, Brinley Cantrella of Estau is nobody’s definition of a good princess.
She’s fearless and bold, not good and gracious. And after a lifetime of being
told she’s unfit to be queen, wearing the crown and helping to usher Estau into
a new era is the one dream she’s never dared chase.
But when her older sister
abdicates the throne, all Brinley has to do to inherit the role is not twerk,
not maim anybody, and definitely not get caught fooling around topless with
Prince Finn, her childhood crush, the only man she’s ever loved…and her
sister’s former future husband.
Finn embodies the definition
of good.
Tall and handsome, serious and honorable, he always does the right
thing—including agreeing to marry his ex’s sister to cover up this latest
scandal. Brinley has fallen down stairs, broken teeth and broken bones, but
this is the first time her heart has ever been broken. She now has the crown
and the prince, and on the surface, life is good—but is being married to a man
everyone swears could never love her back good enough?

EXCERPT:
For
Brinley, the girl who had spent her life exploring every forbidden nook and
cranny, crawling under desks and peering behind paintings, the castle was very
much her home. For Elle it had been a jail cell. Her perfect behavior had been
that of a model prisoner, biding her time, waiting to break free. And now she
had fled and left the world with—
“Brinley,”
King Edric said. He rose from his seat where he waited with her father in the
formal sitting room. He buttoned his perfectly tailored jacket and nodded
politely. “How lovely to see you again.” The words were polite, but the man
himself was cold and impersonal, his pale hair and eyes a visual representation
of the permanent frost in his voice.
“And
you,” Brinley replied, extending her hand for him to kiss. No matter the modern
ideology of the kingdoms, some traditions never waned. She kept her eyes on
his, her crooked smile bright and cheerful, even as she almost died from the
effort required not to look at Finn, who stood just behind his father, calmly
waiting his turn to greet her.
Edric
finally released her and Finn took his place, taking her hand and pressing his
lips to her knuckles. A roaring fire burned brightly behind him, but that was
not the thing that made Brinley’s cheeks flush.
“Princess,”
he said formally. Everything Finn did was formal. Everything about him from his
carefully coiffed hair and his straight features to the brass buttons on his
jacket and the tassels on his epaulets was formal. He was so stiff and
handsome, but instead of off-putting Brinley found it incredibly tempting, the
way she found the castle’s forbidden secret passageways tempting. She wanted to
explore him. She wanted so desperately to see those carefully chiseled features
crack a smile when it was not called for, to hear him laugh, curse, moan.
But
even as she wished for it, she knew it would never happen. Elle may not have
reciprocated his feelings, but Brinley had little doubt that he had cared
deeply for her sister. It was mandated, after all, and Finn was very much a
dutiful prince, one who always followed orders and never his heart.
