Thorns of the Crown

Thorns of the Crown is a sweeping tale of forbidden love, dangerous secrets, and the high price of destiny.
Prince James knows duty demands he choose a wife and claim his place as heir to the throne of Aldonora. But when he meets Princess Lindsey-a woman of grace and hidden strength-his carefully guarded world begins to unravel. What starts as an unexpected attraction soon ignites into a passion neither of them can resist.
Yet love is never simple at court. Torn between loyalty and desire, James and Lindsey are thrust into a marriage that unites rival kingdoms. But behind the vows lies a dangerous game of betrayal, vengeance, and deadly secrets that could shatter their bond forever.
As enemies close in and truth rises from the shadows, they must fight not only for their thrones, but for the one thing that could be lost to both: their love.
