Xander Lenox, heir to the Lenox family dynasty, is burdened by the weight of expectations. Desperate for a break from control, he seizes the chance to attend an exclusive dungeon party. With only six months to find a suitable spouse, before she’s forced to return to her island home, Princess Promise Candler is on a mission—but she’s not searching for a conventional prince. She wants a man strong enough to submit to her. One night, twenty mattresses, and one grain of rice are the tests that Xander must endure. But can Xander survive the princess’s eccentric challenge and prove that he’s more than just an heir? That he’s the submissive she’s been searching for? In this provocative, steamy romance, expectations are shattered, and submission is seductive. Will Xander pass the test—and surrender to a love he never saw coming?
