Blythe Hawthorn has never let anyone tell her what to do-not society, not her overprotective father, and certainly not her husband, no matter how rude and insufferable he is. In fact, she's determined to be a thorn in his side for the rest of her days, even as he ensures that her new life in his palace is anything but a fairytale. But as Blythe discovers a new side to herself that links her to his past, she'll have to ask herself if she's willing to let an unexpected spark ignite...and if she's willing to discover the truth about her past.
