Royal Caleva: Raul

A prince bound by duty. A commoner who knows her place. Can they find a future for their forbidden passion? After his cousin is kidnapped and tortured in his stead, Prince Raul works himself mercilessly so he can be worthy of such a sacrifice. When he collapses from exhaustion at a public ceremony, the prince is forced to take a vacation. He reluctantly finds refuge in the mountains, guided by a strong woman whose warmth and understanding dispel the shadows of his guilt. Erica Ortiz has never felt good enough. Wrestling with the weight of her father’s disapproval, she pushes herself to reach greater heights as a pilot and a part-time wilderness guide. But she never expected to be responsible for the crown prince’s safety on a towering mountain cliff—or to share his innermost secrets. While Erica battles her growing love for the fascinating, tortured prince, Raul realizes that his feelings for her have grown too powerful to control. He can never offer her the forever she deserves. The heir to the throne and a commoner can never marry. When they join together for a desperate rescue mission, can they tear down the barriers that threaten to destroy their love? Royal Caleva: Raul is the gripping third book in the Royal Caleva contemporary romance series (but can be read as a standalone). If you like alpha princes, independent heroines, and the power of love, courage, and healing, then you’ll be thrilled by Nancy Herkness’s passionate romantic adventure story.
