Prince Bane Baronne has baby fever. He is in search of a wife with the proper mystical bloodline to bear him the heir of prophecy. Anna Leon is chosen, but Bane only pretends to be Prince Charming. When Anna questions his intentions, she vanishes from the castle.
Convinced she is to blame for her younger sister’s disappearance, Maria Leon is coerced into the royal marriage instead. She is older, wiser, and should know better—but Bane always gets what he wants. And he is not above using trickery or treachery to do so.
Maria attempts to salvage what she can of a “happily ever after” by working hard to be the best mother and wife. Until the day she learns that every woman who has married into the Baronne line disappears soon after they have produced an heir.
And she is next in line.
Review:
I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. The characters are well-written and well-developed. It has some great twists and turns to move the story along. I love the plot. Readers will be drawn into the story from the very first page. It is definitely one to add to your To Be Read list. You won’t disappointed when you grab a copy to read. I look forward to reading more of Ann’s books.
