Description
Romeo and Juliet heats up in the second installation in the Idle Reputations romantasy series by beloved USA Today bestselling author Falon Ballard 🌹
Princess Lia Boscosa of Talia has lived her whole life in isolation, her powerful Gift-the ability to plant memories in people's minds-kept a secret by her family, even as they exploit her power behind closed doors.
But as Talia prepares for its first presidential election, August, the leader of the Uprising, proposes to put Lea forth as a candidate. Except as the daughter of the reviled monarchs, she can't win over Talia alone. She must be tied to someone sexy, someone handsome, someone charming-and so begins a marriage of convenience to no other than Maro Violaine, Talia's most infamous playboy.
What starts as a calculated alliance erupts into an undeniable attraction that neither of them can resist. But as loyalties splinter and secrets emerge, Lia must decide where her heart lies-because loving Maro could either save her kingdom, or completely destroy it.
