A curvy, small town ballerina. A Prince yearning for his mate. An archaic law forbidding them to wed...
Prince Andrei defends street dancer Hannah from the noxious advances of an odious human toad. He soon realizes this unassuming young woman is his fated mate and is determined to win her heart and wed her- even if his rebellion will cost him his crown.
Hannah has only ever wanted to dance. Raised in a conservative community, she fights to balance her small town values with the more worldly ways of the big city. When the magnetic stranger calling himself Andrew defends her from an assault, she discovers that not all men are as unchivalrous as her Daddy warned. But though Andrew is kind, even generous, she can't help but sense something dark and feral under his quiet, stern exterior.
When she conceives a baby, Andrei is imprisoned by his mother, the Queen of Casakraine, while Hannah is brought before the Assembly to determine whether she is worthy to be Andrei's Princess- and his future Queen.
Should she trust their growing love and accept the matebond he offers her as genuine? When she discovers his secret identity, will the strength of their relationship hold up under the strain of a new, foreign life in the spotlight? And with a surprise pregnancy, does she even have a choice but to make their relationship work?
