Royal Hearts

They've been enemies their entire lives, until an arranged marriage sparks a passion they can't ignore... When Princess Rose is forced to marry the handsome, brooding wizard king, she's whisked away to his foreboding castle without even a chance to say goodbye to her family. She soon discovers her new home holds dark secrets that threaten the entire land, secrets no one dares speak of-and her mysterious husband is at the center of them. King Raith may have taken a bride to end a needless war, but after his former wife's murder he has no interest in falling in love again. As Rose defies him at every turn, her beauty and boldness tempt him to open his heart a second time, and every day it gets harder to resist her. But she must never discover the curse threatening the kingdom-or the dark depths of Raith's soul. As their desire for each other grows, Rose will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth about Raith's past and the shadows spreading across the land. When darkness threatens to tear them apart, they'll have to find a way to stop it together-or doom their kingdom forever. Contains mature themes.

She would do anything for her kingdom. He would do anything to protect her. After the King of Talador's mysterious death, Princess Lily must prepare to take the throne, even if she doesn't feel ready yet. As her coronation draws near, an attack on her life sends her fleeing the castle with her devoted Captain of the Guard, Keane, the one man she trusts above all others. When she arrives at her other palace, she is courted by seven handsome suitors, all hand-selected to potentially be her future King. With her kingdom in danger and her forbidden magic growing stronger, the last thing Lily wants to do is select a husband-especially when she'd rather be with the man who's been by her side for years. Now that Lily is going to be queen, Captain Keane understands she needs to marry a nobleman, even if the thought makes him want to run his blade through every one of her suitors. As long as he hides his true feelings for Lily, he can continue to protect her-even if no one can protect his heart. But when the attacks on Lily grow more dangerous and a threat from the past emerges, they must embrace her magic and their forbidden love if they're going to save her throne. Contains mature themes.
