The Beautiful Heir

The dashing eldest prince of a fae kingdom must work with a no-nonsense professor’s daughter to woo a foreign princess—only to start falling for his tutor instead—in this first book in the young adult fantasy romance Heirs of Westemere series perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas.

Nineteen-year-old Prince Harmon—known as “Fitz” to his many admirers—is the first heir to the throne of the fae kingdom of Westemere. Widely considered the handsomest person in the realm, Fitz enjoys hopping from bed to bed and leading a soft life of drinking, feasting, and raking from dusk ’til dawn.

But not everyone is charmed by his rollicking ways—especially his father, who has a reputation for cruelty and banishing his children to the most desolate corners of the land when they displease him. So when the king issues an ultimatum to court and marry a visiting princess from a neighboring kingdom of Alanza or else, Fitz knows he must accept his fate. There’s just one problem: how can he seduce a woman whose language he doesn’t speak?

Enter Ava Lemontree, the whip-smart, sharp-tongued daughter of a celebrated professor of Alanzan language, history, and culture. Well aware of and thoroughly disgusted by Fitz’s playboy reputation, Ava nonetheless agrees to tutor the prince in hopes of receiving a royal magical boon to save her dying father.

Forced to work together to secure their futures, Fitz and Ava have nothing but hostility between them until their verbal sparring melts into something sweeter. But as secrets from Ava’s past and expectations for Fitz’s future collide, their love—and their lives—might be in more danger than they know.
