Publisher Description
Lucas Andino had been summoned by the king…the only problem? He needed a wife…or at least a fiancée, which wouldn’t have been a problem except…his girlfriend just broke up with him.
In desperation, he turned to his best friend, Francesca—or Frankie as she was known to, well, to everyone.
Frankie needed a topic for her sociology dissertation, and she needed it yesterday. When Lucas suggested they become fake engaged so he could answer the summons of the king, Frankie saw the opportunity for what it was. Who else would have unfettered access to a monarch for their dissertation? Who else could do an up close and personal examination of an emerging nation?
Besides, Frankie would do anything for Lucas. They were best friends for a reason and if he needed her, then she was his girl. So what if she had a tiny crush on him? They were both going into it with their eyes wide open. No one was going to get hurt.
Customer Reviews
I don’t regret a moment of it!
It was so easy for me to immerse myself in this book. I had lost hours of my day before I even realized they were gone. And I don’t regret a moment of it! I loved sweet, awkward, nerdy Lucas and his affinity for numbers and spreadsheets and detailed plans. (His parents made me want to throw large heavy objects at breakable things, but that didn’t change how much I loved Lucas.) Frankie left me veering from one extreme to the other. Her unwavering support of Lucas made me so proud of her, but her resistance to what was growing between them frustrated me to no end. However, I adored where they finally got to once everything was straightened out. Now that we’ve started to get to know them, I’m very interested in reading more about this new crop of young royals.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
