Publisher Description
"What are you talking about? Marry another man?"
Caspian, fourth son and yet still a Crown Prince of Gunkermal knew he was a party to a marriage contract. Arranged marriages were common in his family, and he expected the contract would cement various trade or security agreements with another country. He just didn't realize the other party to his contract was a full-grown man, who stepped off his ship and into Caspian's life as if he owned it.
How much is this marriage worth to our king again?
Nikolas, Crown Prince and only heir of Westland, arrived in Gunkermal to fulfill his part of a marriage contract that was six months in the making. He was under no illusions about his prospective spouse. By all accounts, his intended was a womanizer, a lay about, and was likely someone who fussed if Nikolas should use a wrong fork at dinner. That's why Nikolas insisted their marriage contract have an infidelity clause. He figured his spouse would invoke what was known as the "piss-off" clause before Christmas and he'd be free.
It's far better to marry someone whose weaknesses we're already aware of.
One man went into his marriage contract blindly. The other thought he knew everything there was to know about his intended spouse. When circumstances suggested that neither man knew what was actually going on, was there a possibility the marriage could work after all? And what did a pirate captain have to do with anything at all.
The Infidelity Clause is a whimsical story that is the result of the author's muse taking a holiday.

The Infidelity Clause
This is the first time I ever read anything like ‘The Infidelity Clause’ by Lisa Oliver. Is it Magic, Fantasy or Paranormal ? I don’t know but I do know that I loved this story, I was drawn into it from the first few pages and was sorry when it seemed to send so abruptly.
I believe I have to wait for a sequel sometime in the future. 🥹
Prince Caspian grew up in Gukermal the 4th son of King Reuben and therefore irrelevant as regards succession because two of his older brothers were already married with sons and daughters. He was quite happy about that.
He loved his life, being left alone to do as he pleased, partying, chatting with the people, helping out wherever he could, a friendly Prince of the Realm.
All that changed when he was informed that his father had arranged a marriage with Prince Nicholas, the only son of the King of Westlands. Eh, marriage with a man????
Caspian didn’t have a high opinion of himself as a valuable asset in marriage, he had dodgy eyesight, anxiety attacks, short attention span.
Prince Nicholas on the other had had his own fleet of ships and spent his time sailing the seas. He did everything his beloved father required of him. He was a very good King.
Initially wary of this marriage arrangement he was happy to meet with Prince Caspian. Nicholas wasn’t looking for a Princess, he liked men. On first meeting Nicholas was taken aback at the beautiful looking man that was Caspian and looked at the arrangement more favourably.
Discussions started out with some uncertainty, especially for Caspian. But there was hella lot more coming down the line that neither men saw coming. Lies and more lies, kidnapping by pirates, life threatening attempts. What will happening between the two Kingdoms when the truth comes out?
I loved all the Magical stuff that happened in this ‘world’ mostly in Nicholas’s country, Magic was banned in Gukermal. I didn’t understand how communications happened so fast, but it seemed so much better than in the world we know. As for the magic medical remedies, wow.
I loved Nicholas and Caspian’s description of love not being so much about the heart, but the soul, meeting of souls. Yep, I liked that.
So I look forward to the sequel and find out how Nicholas and Caspian solve the dire circumstances surrounding their nuptials.
Lisa Oliver has an extensive list of books in several genres, I want to read more of this Magical stuff before I try any of the others.
