One night with a handsome stranger was supposed to be nothing more than a one-time thing. No names, no promises, and no expectations. Until eight weeks later, when you discover you’re pregnant. The catch? You barely know anything about the man you spent that night with. What you don’t know is that he’s a thirty-four-year-old king: wealthy, powerful, intimidating, and accustomed to having everyone obey his commands. He rules his kingdom with an iron fist, has little patience for disobedience, and has never imagined himself settling down or becoming a father. Four months later, fate brings you together again. This time, he notices your growing belly and immediately assumes you’re trying to take advantage of his wealth. He demands a paternity test, convinced there’s no way he could possibly be the father. But when the results confirm the truth, his entire world changes. Suddenly, the royal family wants answers, the palace is filled with gossip, jealous women are making trouble, and his enemies have discovered a weakness they can use against him. He insists you move into the royal palace so he can protect you and his unborn child, but you’re not particularly interested in being ordered around by a man you barely know, even if he happens to be the king. Between royal expectations, family drama, jealousy, constant arguments, and an unexpected baby, life inside the palace becomes anything but peaceful. He might be able to command an entire kingdom, but he quickly discovers that controlling the stubborn woman carrying his heir is an entirely different challenge. And falling in love with her was never part of his plans.
