Off the coast of Malaysia – Present Day

Crown Princess Laia, the future queen of Isla’Rosa, was promised as a baby to the heir to the now king of Santanger. The alliance would be beneficial to the adjoining countries, but Laia has no interest in being a bride to King Ari. With her own coronation a couple of weeks away, she slips away to avoid being detained and forced to return home. Crown Prince Dax of Santanger has been assigned to find her and soon discovers her location. However, Laia pulls an elaborate stunt on Dax and the two end up on her private island off the coast of Malaysia where he can’t contact anyone to help get him off. How will the two react to spending time alone?

Laia has always been intrigued by Dax, but he is a notorious playboy prince and way out of her league. She is more interested in spending time at home and perhaps someday finding a man to love and marry. Meanwhile, Laia has tripped up King Ari by sending Maddi, her secret half-sister, to pretend to be Laia. But it appears that the ruse is working all too well according to the pictures on the internet. Dax is breathing down Laia’s neck, insisting that she must honor the agreement between their parents and marry Ari. Yet, as much as he pushes for her to marry his brother, the more he finds himself attracted to her. 

As the days pass in CLAIMED BY THE CROWN PRINCE, Laia and Dax learn more about each other and soon are attuned to each other’s needs. She decides to give Dax the one thing she could not give Ari—her virginity. Are they risking too much by giving in to passion? What happens when they are back in their respective kingdoms? Readers will sense that Laia and Dax are falling in love, but they are too afraid to take the leap to grab their happiness. He has no interest in marriage, while she can’t marry a man who does not love her. Will they end up walking away from each other?

A sizzling tale and passion between a woman about to become Queen and a man who is spare to a king. Don’t miss what happens in CLAIMED BY THE CROWN PRINCE.
