306. The Queen of Hearts

About 306. The Queen of Hearts

Zelie and Sola are identical twins. Impossibly beautiful; impossible to tell apart – but only to the eye. Because while the ‘word on the street’ is that spoilt, fickle and flirtatious Zelie’s a little devil, they say demure, thoughtful Sola is an angel by comparison.

Zelie dreams of marrying a King and the riches that will bring. But Sola only craves the pure and enduring love her mother and father found and always treasured. Just when Zelie’s dream comes true, Fate steps in and forces Sola to take her sister’s place, at first reluctantly and then wholeheartedly marrying the King of Arramia to save his people from revolution and bloodshed.

But how can Sola be happy finding love at such a cost to her twin – and under false pretences until death do they part? Then Zelie’s stricken with measles just as she’s due to meet her Royal fiancée – and thus Fate changes Sola’s life forever. Rather risk the alliance, the Grand Duke sends Sola in Zelie’s place.

After all no one will ever know the difference! Trouble is, on her arrival, there’s revolution in the air. And only one thing can divert the people’s attention and prevent outright revolt and bloodshed on Arramia’s streets: the thrill of a Royal Wedding!

And so Sola has no choice but to marry the King there and then, under false pretences until death do they part!
