Jack, the son of the prime minister, finds himself forced into an arranged marriage after the fey conquer Earth. His intended husband, Prince Dyfri y Mhorriganogi, is breathtakingly beautiful but also suspected of being a spy and an enemy infiltrator. Jack resents the lack of choice and resigns himself to a fate he never wanted — sharing his life with Dyfri in Downing Street. Yet when they finally meet, Dyfri’s dark eyes and enigmatic presence stir doubt in Jack’s certainty. Beneath the suspicion lies the possibility that Dyfri may not be loyal to his people at all, but instead aligned with humanity. As attraction and mistrust collide, Jack must decide whether he is seeing the truth or simply what he longs to believe.
I loved this story which was about love and suspicion in the shadow of conquest, where one forced marriage could change everything. I loved the way that Jack defended Dyfri making him start to believe that he was not the worthless whore he had been treated as. I also loved that the fey conquest places Jack in a position of vulnerability, even as he represents human leadership but for Dyfri as a prince, he embodied power, but his possible disloyalty to his people revealed vulnerability. That emphasized that love became a negotiation of power, where intimacy required surrender from both sides. I felt that Dyfri was the prince with the possibility for the largest depth of character and this book did not disappoint. I loved the ending which was perfect for the series. Many emotions and feelings in this story. This was an MM story with mature content.
