“You must bear a child, Celia. what good is a woman who isn’t a mother? What good is an empty womb?”

“Especially when it’s a foreign womb, like yours…”

It’s not an easy life when you’re watched month after month, when all the blame is placed at your feet for your young husband having no heir. 

Celia Devon Tralhamir, Crown Princess of Havietten, waits every month with hope mingled with fear. 

A child will secure her future. But it will also bind her for life to a husband she neither loves or respects, who refuses to see her abilities. Is that what she wants?

Is she content to prioritise security over happiness, and be a wordless decorative vessel all her life?

Or is she brave enough to try to forge her own path and seize fulfilment on her own terms? Even in a society that cannot recognise individual brilliance in a mere woman.

A sequel to the WEBNOVEL book “Earning the Love of a Princess”, this novel follows another woman born into the Royal House of Devon, trying to fight the confines that threaten to stifle her happiness.

The Loneliest Ballad

"So very sorry to have disappointed you." Lucas had whispered ever so softly in her ear as his hand had pushed up her skirt. "I'll do my best to redeem myself."

And he had. To the point that he'd been forced to press his palm over Celia's mouth to muffle her screams of rapture.

Every time the two of them were alone now, their touches grew bolder and hotter. Celia was growing impatient. There was literal fire burning just under her skin, so why was he ignoring it?

She was quite sure he was as aroused as her. She could feel it when she was pressed against him, could see it in Lucas's half closed eyes and the sheen of sweat along his brow.

Every time she brought it up, he demurred by saying he didn't want to hurt her.
