Beatriz Leone has always been the quiet one, waiting in the shadows while her brothers and sisters pursue their ambitious goals. Suddenly her twin brother is king and she’s still on the sidelines. Always suspicious of men—do they want her for the title or for the money?—she has even more reason to be wary of the handsome and charming son of the family’s bitterest rivals. Lorenzo Aldobrando enjoys a challenge. His ancestor lost a prime piece of property to the Leone family, and he’s determined to get it back. When his efforts to buy it are rebuffed, he decides he’ll try another tactic—seducing the bookish princess who inherited it from her grandmother. Their initial flirtation raises eyebrows. Beatriz is wary but soon finds herself confiding her hopes and dreams to the dashing family enemy…and meeting him in secret. When Lorenzo helps Beatriz take practical steps toward a life goal that no one else has ever supported, she starts to fall in love—hard. Will she find herself betrayed and alone? Or can the most outrageous dreams really come true?
