A royal, married to the enemy, secret pregnancy romance by USA TODAY bestselling author Caitlin Crews.

From hatred

…to nine-month consequences!

King Tadeo loathes the way his convenient bride Esme incenses yet tempts him. Having grown up in the shadow of royal disgrace, his reluctant obsession with her is best kept on ice. Now that he is newly crowned, the time has come to finally banish her from his life…

For seven years, Tadeo’s indifference has cracked Esme’s heart. Though she can’t forget the night after his father’s death, when that coldness gave way to all-consuming passion… Now her offensively gorgeous husband is demanding a divorce. But she’s carrying his heir—will that change everything?
