    • Chapter 36: Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 36: Bridget MY DRESS POOLED AROUND MY ANKLES, LEAVING ME IN ONLY MY LACE bra and thong. Trembles wracked me—from anticipation or the slight chill in the air, I wasn’t sure. Probably a mixture of both. Rhys was silhouetted against the moonlight so I couldn’t see his face, but I could feel the heat of his gaze as it raked over me. Dark and possessive like a lover’s touch, leaving a trail of delicious goosebumps in its wake. I wet my lips, dying to touch him, but knowing it was in my best…

Reporters from around the world clamored to cover every detail, from Sabrina's wedding dress train to the glamorous guest list. Only a select few journalists from Eldorra's national media were permitted…
    • Chapter 34: Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 34: Bridget “IS EVERYTHING OKAY?” SABRINA ASKED AFTER I EXITED THE BATHROOM. She’d knocked to check on me, and I realized I’d been gone for almost half an hour. “Yes. I just had to deal with some last-minute prep for an event next week,” I said, ashamed of how easily the lie rolled off my tongue. “Apologies.” “No need to apologize.” Sabrina gestured to her sister and best friend, who’d passed out on the couch while The Devil Wears Prada played on-screen. “At least you’re…

    • Chapter 32: Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 32: Bridget PROBLEM: I COULDN’T REPEAL THE LAW ON MY OWN. I NEEDED BACKUP, and I had limited options. I didn’t want to tell Rhys until I had a more concrete plan, and I certainly couldn’t tell my family or any of the palace handlers. My friends in D.C. were too far away and removed from Eldorran politics to help. There was only one person left I could trust. “You want to what?” Mikaela’s mouth hung open as she stared at me like I’d sprouted a second head. “Bridget, the Royal…
    • Chapter 31: Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 31: Bridget “STEFFAN.” MY HEART THUMPED WITH PANIC, EVEN THOUGH I WASN’T doing anything wrong. Not at that second, anyway. “I didn’t know you were back in town.” “I—uh, yes,” he stuttered, looking uncharacteristically flustered. “It was a last-minute decision. I wasn’t supposed to be back until next week, but I had an emergency in the city and I needed to get back straight away. I was going to call you tomorrow after everything settled.” His eyes slid to his left, and I…

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 30: Rhys feels the full weight of his addiction, but it isn't to anything he can easily avoid—it's Bridget herself.

Yet here he was, completely consumed by a woman whose resilience, elegance, and hidden fire drew him in deeper with each passing day. For once, he didn't want to resist the pull. Spending the afternoon together in a quiet…

    • Chapter 28: Rhys Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 28: Rhys I’D TRIED TO RESIST. I REALLY HAD. Perhaps I would’ve succeeded had Bridget been beautiful and nothing else. Beauty, on its own, meant nothing to me. My mother had been beautiful, until she wasn’t—and I don’t mean physically. But that was the problem. Bridget wasn’t beautiful and nothing else. She was everything. Warmth, strength, compassion, humor. I saw it in the way she laughed, in her empathy as she listened to people’s problems and her composure as they railed to her…
