Born into an America where marriage is mandatory, sharp, non-conformist Helen Barnes has it all worked out: she plans to marry her best friend, Nick, before they're both required to marry at the end of their 25th year. Helly, as her friends know her, is busy finishing up medical school training; she has no time, and no patience, for the romantic searches that seem to occupy everyone else's time. However, when Nick gets engaged to his true love two weeks before the deadline, Helen is left to face the Wedding Lottery, an annual drawing where unpaired individuals are assigned to marry each other.
This isn't just any lottery year, though. Prince Nolan, the younger son of the American royal family, will be entering the lottery, too, as is family tradition. His older sister, Princess Regent Camille, married from the lottery five years ago, and Nolan must do his duty, too, no matter how little interest he has in marrying anyone, much less a commoner drawn at random.
Wouldn't it be something if a career-focused, independent-minded, anti-monarchy woman had to marry the official face of the lottery itself?All Rights Reserved
