King's Heir of Hate

About this book

King Tadeo and his wife, Esme, are trapped in a marriage defined by cold indifference and royal duty. For seven years, Tadeo has kept his distance, haunted by his own dark history and an obsession with Esme that he refuses to acknowledge. Now that he has finally ascended to the throne, his singular goal is to dissolve their convenient union and banish her from his life forever. For Esme, the impending divorce is the final blow to a heart already fractured by years of rejection. She has never been able to forget the one night their icy walls crumbled into explosive, all-consuming passion, but she knows that Tadeo’s hardened exterior is a fortress she cannot breach. However, just as the end of their marriage appears inevitable, Esme discovers she is carrying the King’s heir. This intense, high-stakes romance features the classic "secret pregnancy" and "marriage of convenience" tropes, exploring the volatile friction between two people who cannot stay away from one another. With the future of the crown at stake, Tadeo and Esme must confront the raw truth of their connection. Can a child bridge the divide between hate and a long-denied, burning desire?
