“You’re so eager for me, Haven, with those sweet sounds just for me. But don’t worry, no one is going to hear you up here.”
I swallow hard and stare into his ocean-blue eyes, liking how that promise sounds.

If the opportunity to be given one million dollars in exchange for accompanying a prince to social events for one month arose, would you take it?
That was the proposition Haven Jones was given. She lives in the Bronx, working at Midnights Cocktails barely making minimum wage with a sick father and hospital bills piling up to her knees. So, when she meets the Spanish Prince, Cruz Martinez, he provides an offer that Haven can’t refuse.
But accepting said offer brings a wave of drama, threats, and love that Haven wasn’t expecting. Falling for a prince was the most unexpected. The only problem is that many people are standing between them and their fight for happiness.

The Spanish Prince's Safe Haven

Forty-one. Forty-two. Forty-three. Wait… was I counting bikes too? Or just cars? 


I sigh and rub my eyes for what feels like the millionth time. 


Counting cars was one of those childhood games that my parents and I used to play all of the time. I would count how many cars passed that were black while my mom would count red cars and my dad would count silver. 


It used to be really fun when I was little, but it somehow has lost its amusement while I sit here on the steps of my apartment building. How long has it been since he’s been gone? Cruz said he was just going to be a couple of hours. Was he delayed? Did something come up? 


I glance at my phone and swipe open the screen to look at the time. 


I have been sitting here for four hours. 


I stare at the time and my message app out of pure habit at this point. I stare at the messages I sent Cruz.
