About this audiobook
Ten years ago, an entitled prince kicked over a farm girl's scrub bucket — just to make her look at him. She gave him nothing. Neither of them ever forgot it.
She built an empire from nothing; he grew into a king who spent a decade proving he was no longer that boy. Now a brewing war calls her back to his glittering court, and Areia arrives ready, at last, to let him try to court her. Properly.
He wants to — and is catastrophically bad at it, because kings command, they don't woo. But beneath the fumbling charm waits the harder question: the boy who hurt her and the man who waited wear the same face and the same name. She has to know they're not the same person before she risks her guarded heart. And belief like that isn't given. It's paid for.
