An Abandoned Prince

King Leo Considine of the pocket principality of Vilirus did not need a second heir in the Kingdom. So once Michael was five years old, he was banished far from home. Now the heir has abdicated, and the King needs the spare. However, Michael doesn't need anything from his Father, having built a big life independently. But King Leo came from a long line of Machiavellian rulers that had enabled the tiny Kingdom to survive when many others had failed. Therefore, he had no doubt he could coerce Michael to come home. But Michael was descended from that same line and had inherited the same skills. Until he is blindsided by falling for his new head of security, Captain Bella Stefano, and he realizes the battle of wills has more at stake than just his future.
