IF BEATRICE DOES SHOW UP...WILL HE KEEP LOVING ME? Raeliana is being held hostage! Well, sort of. After being summoned to the palace by Noah's half brother, King Siathrich, she's forced to stay there--and to confront the future of her relationship with Noah. Considering the kiss he planted on her while she was sick, it's obvious there are feelings involved, but the ever-present weight of Beatrice's existence complicates things. Still, Raeliana doesn't intend to sit around waiting for her Duke Charming Noah to come save her, and she's got a plan...Little does she know, the universe has something else in store!
