DUAL POV
In the modern, post-flood world, what was once North America is now the United Islands, where only lands above 5,000 feet remain. Celine is at the top of a cliff, about to be executed for a murder she didn’t commit. At the last horrifying second, she’s rescued by a brother she didn’t know she had, and Luck, a man she had a brief but wonderful interlude with. After a nail-biting escape from Ponderosa Island, Celine’s taken to Blackwood, one of the Elite islands where she learns she’s the princess.
Princess Celine was presumed dead, having fallen into the sea six years ago. The loss of all childhood memories doesn’t help her situation when she’s thrown into a royal family of five brothers, and Luck, her stepbrother. Attraction between Luck and Celine aside, she is working to build relationships from scratch with each family member.
Not everyone in Celine’s new life is good. She has to endure a dramatic, irritating girl throwing herself at Luck every chance she gets.
Because jurisdiction was upset when Celine was rescued, dangerous things have been set in motion. People high in Ponderosa’s Govern and surrounding Lower islands are working against Celine and the royal family she’s come to adore. Her enemies have years of secrets that need buried, but can only be put to rest with Celine’s death. The king and sons do all they can to keep Celine protected and free from danger and false accusations. Luck especially wants her safe and happy. But he has worries of his own.
With Celine’s return, Luck struggles to find his place among the sibling circle he has been so sure of. He also isn’t in the clear with what happened on Ponderosa during Celine’s rescue. Being the adopted prince and second in line for the throne, there are people against him already. Now, they have even more reasons to put pressure on him and the king.
Luck and Celine try to keep a familial relationship between them but it’s not so easy when other love interests, danger, family, enemies, threats, and uncrossable lines are in the way.
When Celine’s welcome home ball finally arrives, she is ready to claim her identity, her place in her family and country, and give her heart to Luck. But when an unexpected announcement is made at the ball, her world is thrown into complete devastation.
