I'm the first single king Hermosa Islas has ever known. Young. Dutiful. Bound by traditions—except one. My people demand a queen. Custom says I marry for duty. I say I marry for love, or not at all. Larkin storms into my world as an architect hired to restore my family's legacy. Fiery. Unyielding. Brilliant. No filter. Before I can blink, she labels me an arrogant man. Unaware of my true identity, it makes her dangerously bold. Hating me has become her guilty obsession. Perfect. Let her. Taming her wild heart will test me in ways no throne ever could. I'm a king. I don't lose—hearts or kingdoms. But can I tame the one wild heart that refuses to bow?
