Today is the official release of Falling for the King by Clare Miles (ebook, Escape Publishing). Here’s the blurb:
King Xavier of Maynet doesn’t believe in love: he’s had enough experience to know it can’t be trusted. But he does believe in duty and knows he’ll choose a wife as tradition dictates.
However, when his late brother’s widow joins him on a month-long royal tour of Maynet he develops feelings for her deeper than anything he’s ever known or believed possible, and he finds himself spending more time thinking about her than any prospective bride.
Princess Katerina won’t ever risk her heart again after the humiliation of her marriage. Instead, she’s dedicating her life to the betterment of her beloved adopted country, Maynet. Yet she finds herself attracted to Xavier in a way that threatens all her careful plans, and the more time they spend together the stronger their connection gets.
As time runs out for Xavier to choose a wife, will he realise what he feels for Katerina is love and that she’s more important than any tradition? Can Katerina trust herself and her feelings for Xavier and demand what she truly deserves, someone who loves her?
Clare dropped by today to tell us a little about this book:
I’ve always loved a royal romance—the high stakes, glamour, endless pressure—so I rubbed my hands together in glee when King Xavier and Princess Katerina popped into my head. This of course led to many guilt free hours ‘researching’ palaces, jewels, gowns, tiaras and all things opulent to do justice to their beautiful love story. But it’s not only the spectacular setting. Xavier and Katerina, who have both been married before, carry deep emotional scars they are determined will remain hidden forever. Lucky for them, I was equally determined that was not going to happen. Despite their protests I chipped away at their emotional armour, and the reward was them slowly revealing their true selves to each other, which resulted in cheers (and a few tears) from me when they finally had the courage to fight for and win their HEA. I hope you love Xavier and Katerina’s story, my first full-length novel, and a huge thank you to the team at the Escape/Harlequin for making this publishing dream possible.
