Crown of Desire

Princess Stella has spent her life dreaming beyond castle walls.

But when her father dies and her brother takes the throne, her fate is sealed with a single command-she must marry for the kingdom.

At the coronation, powerful rulers gather to claim alliances... and one ruthless king sets his sights on her.

Yet it is his best friend-the quiet, enigmatic duke-who steals her heart.

What begins as innocent curiosity soon ignites into a passion Stella never imagined.

But loving him could destroy kingdoms... and provoke the wrath of the most dangerous king in Europe.

In a court ruled by power, secrets, and desire, Stella must choose between the life she was born to live...

and the man she was never meant to love.
