Sophia Laforteza runs Verdenia with the precision of a ticking clock. She has a plan for everything—except a surprise wife.

While Sophia treats the engagement like a cold war, Manon treats it like a vacation. But as the sunny Spare chips away at the icy Heir’s defenses, Sophia discovers that the only thing more terrifying than ruling a kingdom alone is falling for the one woman who makes her want to stop.
