Bride By Royal Decree. Caitlin Crews
id="uf3ff2388-6193-5f90-834b-6b6ff7ad477a">
His lost princess bride!
King Reza abandoned the search for his childhood betrothed, Princess Magdalena, years ago. Until the shocking appearance of a photograph of the elusive princess reignites the legend that gripped his nation. Now Reza must return to the hunt and claim his queen!
Waitress Maggy’s family history is a mystery, and even though she often dreamed of Prince Charming, he was never as devastatingly handsome as Reza! Fiercely independent, she won’t accept her birthright on any terms but her own, so if Reza can’t use legal bindings, he’ll use sensual ones that Maggy will be helpless to resist!
“I’ll return to my original question,” Maggy said. Not politely. “Who the hell are you, and why do you care if some barista in a photograph looks like an old, dead queen?”
Reza drew himself up to his full height. He looked down at her with all the authority and consequence that had been pounded into every inch of him all his life—even when his own father had failed to live up to the crown he now wore himself.
“I am Leopoldo Maximillian Otto, King of the Constantines,” he informed her. “But you may call me by my private family nickname, Reza.”
She let out a sharp, hard sound that was not quite a laugh and thrust his mobile back at him. “I don’t want to call you anything.”
“That will be awkward, then.”
Reza took possession of his mobile, studying the way she deliberately kept her fingers from so much as brushing his, as if he was poisonous. He was a king, not a snake. The way this creature dared to treat him—him—with such disrespect baffled him, but did nothing to assuage that damnable need that still worked inside him. She confounded him, and he didn’t like it.
But that didn’t change the facts. Much less what would be gained by presenting his people with the lost Santa Domini princess as his bride.
He met her gaze then. And held it. “Because one way or another, you are to be my wife.”
Conveniently wedded, passionately bedded!
Whether there’s a debt to be paid, a will to be obeyed or a business to be saved... she’s got no choice but to say, “I do!”
But these billionaire bridegrooms have got another think coming if they think marriage will be that easy...
Soon their convenient brides become the object of an inconvenient desire!
