Essie and Farrendel are living their happily ever after...until Farrendel's greatest secret leaks to the Escarlish press. With his reputation set to be forever ruined, they race to do damage control. Yet, an even greater danger lurks behind the leak, threatening more than just Farrendel's reputation. To save his brother-in-law and rescue the alliance, Prince Edmund of Escarland proposes a fake courtship to Jalissa, the elf princess who has broken his heart not once, but twice, even if she doesn't know it. Edmund and Jalissa struggle to unravel the conspiracy, save Farrendel, and attempt to keep their fake romance from becoming all too real. It might be more than this spy prince and elf princess can handle. From the pen of best selling author Tara Grayce comes the next installment in the Elven Alliance series.
