Synopsis
All of his life, Caden DeMott’s mismatched eyes have made him the target of superstition and scorn. Though he is the son of a nobleman, he’s been allowed to run free over the hills and moors, mostly ignored by his family. No one ever thought to inform him that he had been betrothed since infancy, until the day his fiancé, Prince Rhys Gwyther arrived to marry him.Rhys is the prince of the small island country of Mauritania, a land rich in gems, rose oil, and pearls, but poor in skilled artisans and seeds to grow crops. In order to further cement the trade route to the mainland, he’s been sent to marry a man he’s never met, and bring him back to Mauritania. Unfortunately, an accident years before has left Rhys with a lot of emotional baggage and very little trust in strangers.
But trust is exactly what Caden and Rhys are going to need if they are to make a life together, and help unravel the mystery of who’s been smuggling valuable gems and pearls off the island. Add in the realization that Caden’s stepmother, Mildred and her island representative, Maxwell, have been importing inferior goods for years, forcing Mauritania to become more dependent on them, and trust becomes even more difficult.
Caden possesses the knowledge to finally allow Rhys’ father to unravel the plot to ruin Mauritania, but only if the king and his son are willing to put their faith in Caden’s loyalty to his new home. Something that is difficult to do after Caden is accused of cheating on his marriage vows to Rhys with his guard, Luc. Will Rhys believe him innocent? Or will their marriage be over before it truly has a chance to begin?

Excerpt
Rhys paused his rubbing to extract
the shirt from Caden’s hand. He placed it back on the trunk and picked up the
shirt Caden had tried on first. “There was nothing wrong with this one,” he
commented, handing it back to him. “It matched your eyes.”
“But....” Caden
frowned, glancing over his shoulder at Rhys, confusion in his eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
“You didn’t like
that shirt on the ship,” Caden reminded him.
“It wasn’t that I
didn’t like it.” Rhys sighed and slid his hand down Caden’s back. “It was just
that I wanted you wear something more extravagant the first time the people saw
you.”
Caden ducked his
head. “I’m sorry if I embarrass you by not having many fancy things.”
Rhys felt the
tension in his husband’s body and knew he was a big part of the cause. Caden
had come such a long way from home, all alone, without even a familiar guard or
manservant for companionship. It hadn’t really hit him until he’d woken that
morning to find Petyr laying out his clothes. It was odd, now that he thought
about it, that Caden’s father hadn’t sent one single servant to attend to his
son. He could only imagine how much he’d added to his husband’s discomfort by
constantly harping on about everything under the sun.
“You don’t
embarrass me,” Rhys told him gently as he slid his fingers through Caden’s
hair. “I’m sorry if I made you feel that way. Father Martin was right. I
haven’t given you many reasons to want to stay with me, have I?”
“Not really,”
Caden replied sadly.
“I’m sorry,” Rhys
repeated. “I’ll work at doing better. I promise.”
When Caden turned
and gave him a small smile, Rhys hugged him. He was taken aback when his
husband stiffened at first, before relaxing enough to hug him back. Rhys
stroked his hair lightly, enjoying the feel of the warm body pressed against
him and the patchouli scent of Caden’s soap that still clung to his skin.
