Recently docked after a voyage abroad, Emmett wants only to find a warm bed and good food, for himself and the cabin boy he's taken into his care. Those plans are impeded, however, by an altercation in the streets -- with a man he realizes too late is England's heir to the throne, Prince Andrewe.<br><br>When the encounter unexpectedly leads to a position in the royal household attending the prince, Emmett is not certain what to think. On one hand, it's a reliable income and ensures the safety of his charge. On the other, it's neither the life Emmett knows, nor an environment that he's comfortable in. Left to learn his lessons the hard way, Emmett spends his days contending with a spoiled, infuriating prince who leaves him in a constant tangle of emotions.<br><br>Then he begins to hear whispers of treason and must make a choice: defend Prince Andrewe or betray him.

“Enjoy the festivities, gentlemen,” Thomas said brightly, tipping his hat first to Emmett and then to Aleyn, before spinning on his heel and walking away.


Emmett was still staring down the street when he felt Aleyn’s tug on his jacket. “Who was that, Emmett? What did he want?”


“No one,” Emmett replied. “And nothing.”


Aleyn paused and looked up. “Why did he kiss you?”


“Because he’s crazy,” Emmett said, turning Aleyn back to the show. “Here now, you’ll miss the fun parts.”11


“Blue,” Andrewe said, flouncing on top of Emmett’s sprawled body, holding swatches of silk against his chest, “or green?”


Emmett reached up and grabbed Andrewe’s still naked hips and held them to his own. “Blue,” he confirmed. “Just like your eyes.”


The mattress moved below him as Andrewe shifted into kneeling and dropped both elbows beside Emmett’s head. “Funny,” Andrewe said, “that’s why I was thinking of the green. So I could be reminded of your eyes all night.”
