So seriously, in fact, that he's followed duty over pursuing the woman he's loved for years. However, now it's time for him to marry, and he's tired of waiting. He'll pursue her despite royal objections, and despite her own. **A commoner falling in love with a prince.** Rebecca Campo loves her work as chief of staff to Princess Catharine, her friend and Prince Alexander's twin sister. Alex is every woman's dream, and it comes as a shock when he seems to want her. Even after their passions overtake them, Rebecca still doesn't believe they're meant for forever because she's only a commoner, not a future queen. **An unexpected threat that can destroy them both.** When a death threat is made against Alex, the whole family goes on alert.
