Playing pretend may be more than the king bargained for in this fake engagement story by New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates.

A wild king…
…and the one woman to tame him!

After years presumed dead, Lazarus must claim the throne he’s been denied. But to enact his royal revenge, he also needs a convenient fiancée to hide his hard edges. His right-hand woman, Agnes, is perfect, but her innocence could be his downfall…

Agnes owes Lazarus her life, and she’s dedicated it to protecting him. But his scorching touch has even her trembling! She knows their arrangement will last only until Lazarus has stolen back his crown. Can she ever be brave enough to admit he’s also stolen her heart?
