Kian: Prince of Sorenia


Imani King - 2016
     Abby: When I came to Gibraltar, I was looking for distraction. I was sad, angry, and hopeless—and dumped by my cheating boyfriend. Kian was the distraction I found. Over six feet of gorgeous, hard-bodied, arrogant, reckless, green-eyed, melt-in-your-mouth sexiness. He’s a player. A womanizer. And he’s got his sights set on me. When he invites me for a week at his villa, I can’t help but say yes. Who wouldn’t? And when we win an all-expenses-paid wedding in a dance contest, we both say, “I do.” It was all fake, a good laugh—wasn’t it? Imagine my surprise when I return home and find out that I’m absolutely, without a doubt, 100% married. And I’m a princess. Kian: My life is one huge party. My brother and I are the crown princes of Sorenia, and we live up to our reputation as bad boys. Why shouldn’t we? We both have to marry royalty and live up to our family name, whatever that means. When I meet Abby, she seems like another conquest. A woman to be won. And I always win. But Abby’s different. She’s brilliant and funny, and she’s the hottest woman I’ve ever seen. No man would ever let her go. And with her, I’m starting to feel more like a man and less like a bad boy. I’ll go through hell to be with her, and I’ll do more to make sure she stays my wife. And I don’t give a damn what my parents think I should do. Abby is mine. And I’ll make sure the world knows it.
