        A hidden princess must outsmart a young king to reclaim her throne. The only problem? He's more charming than she expected.

        "Tell me that you hate me." Ryne's fingers were soft on her face. "Say it, Anna. Say it again to me." His lips ghosted over her neck. "Tell me that you hate me more than anything in this world."
