The Price of Being Chosen

The Price of Being Chosen

You were never meant to be chosen. As the granddaughter of House Voss — old name, old money, and a reputation that never quite recovered — your future was negotiated before you had a say. An arranged engagement to the kingdom's second prince. Quiet. Controlled. A chance to restore what your family lost. It should have been simple. Until the Crown Prince decides you're interesting. Lucien doesn't hide what he wants. He never has. And the moment his attention finds you at a state dinner, surrounded by cameras and carefully curated smiles, he makes no effort to pretend otherwise. Now you're navigating a world of royal motorcades and media scrutiny, palace politics and private wars — caught between a fiancé who saw you clearly from the very first moment and a crown prince who has decided that isn't his problem. Two princes. Two very different kinds of feeling. Neither one is simple. Neither one is safe. Being chosen was never an honor. It’s a price.

About

A noble house on the edge of irrelevance. An arranged marriage to a prince no one watches. A deal made quietly, the way all the best ones are. It should have stayed that way. Set in a modern monarchy where old money meets new power, The Price of Being Chosen is a dark, choice-driven romance about desire, loyalty, and the cost of being seen. Navigate court politics, media scrutiny, and two very different princes — one who saw you clearly before he had any reason to, and one who has decided quietly that you are the most interesting thing in his very public world. Slow burn. High stakes. Morally grey. Every choice shapes your story. Not all of them are safe.
