Forbidden passions and intertwined destinies under the gaze of the Crown of Cordina. Icy, powerful, arrogant, incredibly virile… Prince Alexander, heir to the Crown of Cordina, represents an enigma for Eve. And an object of fascination, too. Yet she must not give in to the troubling feelings he awakens in her. Alexander has invited her to his palace only so she can organize the greatest festival in the country—and there will never be any question of love between them. For, even if the prince gazes at her with desire, binding his destiny to an unnobled stranger will be forever forbidden to him… Translated from English (United States) by Marie Pascal.
