The Rogue Prince

A scandalous prince. A forbidden love. A fate neither of them expected.

Prince Damien Rothchester lives only for pleasure. As the king's third son, the crown is not his burden—leaving him free to chase vice and avoid responsibility. But on the night of his twenty-fifth birthday, everything changes when a fiery dancer steps into the palace and sets his world ablaze.

Esmeralda Amador performs for royalty, but never expects to catch the eye of a prince—especially not one who looks at her like she's the only woman in the room. She knows better than to fall for someone so far above her station… but the connection between them is undeniable. Passionate. All-consuming. Dangerous.

As their stolen moments turn into something deeper, forces beyond their control begin to stir—whispers of betrayal, danger at court, and a destiny neither of them could have foreseen.

When duty and desire collide, Damien must make an impossible choice between the life he knows… and the woman he cannot live without.

The Rogue Prince is the spellbinding first book in The Royals of Cardenas—a lush, romantic historical/fantasy series where passion defies class, fate tests hearts, and love may yet rewrite the stars.
