When twenty-five-year-old Queen Margaret ascends the throne following her mother's death, she inherits not only a crown but the relentless pressure of a parliament determined to see her wed. With the weight of a kingdom newly resting on her shoulders, love is the last thing on her mind - until King Rahil changes everything. Rahil never wanted to be king. Bound by his late father's will, he accepted the role of regent three years ago with one intention: to hold the throne until his younger brother comes of age, then walk away without looking back. He has a plan, a timeline, and absolutely no interest in complicating either - until Margaret. Now, caught between duty and desire, two monarchs must reckon with a love neither of them anticipated. Margaret is willing to wait for the man behind the crown. But Rahil must decide whether a future beside her is worth abandoning the ordinary life he has always longed for - and whether letting go of a throne means losing her instead. A queen who must choose a king. A king who never wanted to be one. And a love story that will ask everything of them both.
