King of My Heart

After breaking up with her insufferable boyfriend, Darwynn Cove packs her bags and embarks on a road trip to rediscover herself. But her journey takes an unexpected turn when she recalls a fiery TV interview with her ex's father-legendary actor Caspian King.

Julian never spoke of his father without resentment, their relationship fractured beyond repair. But something about that interview lingers in Darwynn's mind, sparking a curiosity she can't ignore. Following a whim, she tracks Caspian down to a remote village, where the former Hollywood icon has disappeared into seclusion.

What starts as an impulsive attempt to understand the man behind the myth-and maybe even mend the broken bond between father and son-quickly becomes something more. Caspian is nothing like she expected: guarded, sharp-tongued, and utterly captivating.

As Darwynn spends more time in his world, the lines between past and present, right and wrong, begin to blur. She came here for Julian. But now, she's not sure she wants to leave Caspian at all.
