A royal marriage deadline means crossing a red-hot line!

King Ivo Maximiliano has just months to wed or surrender his crown. Determined to rule without distraction, he wants a purely convenient bride. Yet no suitable candidate has accepted Ivoโ€™s terms! Then the perfect solution walks into his office... Sofia Romero, his serenely unflappable assistant, will be queen.

Sofia has long been secretly in love with Ivo, so his proposal is exhilarating if painfully bittersweet. Swayed by her loyalty to His Majesty, she agrees, vowing to suppress her desires. Except their incendiary wedding night tests her resolve, one torturous touch at a time...

About the Author

Lucy spent her formative years lost in the world of Mills & Boon romance when she really ought to have been paying attention to her teachers. Up against sparkling heroines, gorgeous heroes and the magic of falling in love, trigonometry and absolute ablatives didn't stand a chance.But as she couldn't live in a dream world forever, she eventually acquired a degree in languages and an eclectic collection of jobs. A stroll to the River Thames one Saturday morning led her to her very own hero. The minute she laid eyes on the hunky rower getting out of a boat, clad only in Lycra and carrying a 3-meter oar like it was a toothpick, she knew she'd met the man she was going to marry. Luckily the rower thought the same.She will always be grateful to whatever it was that made her stop dithering and actually sit down to type chapter one, because dreaming up her own sparkling heroines and gorgeous heroes is pretty much her idea of the perfect job.Originally a Londoner, Lucy now lives in Spain where she spends much of the time reading, failing to finish cryptic crosswords and trying to convince herself that lying on the beach really is the best way to work.
