Synopsis
Welcome to the darker side of romance with Aleatha Romig's signature unexpected twists, turns, deceptions, and heated desires. Royal Reflections is her first-ever, forbidden royal romance series. Hold on tight, and remember, nothing is as it appears in the reflection. I have a secret, I’m not who you think. In this world where gowns, castles, and crowns make for the perfect reflections, life isn’t always as it appears. Love is elusive, even when the most beautiful woman is right before you. Illusions distort visions, shadows lurk in the sunshine, and monsters tread behind smiles and chivalrous facades. I, Roman Archibald Godfrey, swore an oath to Molave. To the king. And above all, to Princess Lucille. The princess isn't mine to take, but you know what they say about forbidden fruit. Have you been Aleatha’d? From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new contemporary romantic-suspense series, Royal Reflections, set in the world of the royal elite, where things are not as they appear. *RUTHLESS REIGN is book one of the Royal Reflections series.
