At a private school, teenage friends Theo and Sofia dreamed of running away together until Sofia was abruptly pulled back into her real life and duties as a royal princess and Theo took the blame for something he didn’t do, ending up expelled. Some years have now passed and their lives have taken very different turns.

Theo had to start his life over again and with his mother’s help, has made himself a fortune with his wines.

I loved this passionate story! Sofia’s father is suffering from early dementia, a diagnosis that has been hidden from all but a select few. It’s what made her abruptly withdraw from school and face the reality that her dreams with Theo were just that – dreams. For her country she enters into a marriage of convenience with a friend, but when he unexpectedly passes away, she knows she must seek a new partnership such that when her father abdicates and his health problems are revealed, the country will not be rocked by instability. Theo’s return throws a wrench into her plans, especially when he tells her what he went through after she left school. Feeling guilty and unable to tell him about her father’s health, she agrees to an engagement with him.

Theo’s plan for revenge seems to be going along smoothly until he realizes that his feelings for Sofia are not as cut and dried as he’d thought. Both adults now, they share an intense attraction that leads to some sexy interludes. As his feelings for Sofia deepen and she shares her secrets with him, he realizes that what he really wants is to protect and care for her. But when secrets come to light, he must find a way to prove that they belong together.
