    Summary

    Beautiful but cold, Prince Laurent of Arles has vowed to marry only the one to best him in a footrace. The winner will get his hand in marriage - and the power and influence that come with it - but the price of failure is death.
    The latest in a long string of suitors to attempt Laurent’s challenge and lose is Prince Kastor of Ios. Damen, desperate to save his brother’s life, travels to Arles himself to participate in the race. Once there, however, he quickly realizes that Laurent desires to marry him about as much as he desires to marry Laurent - that is to say, not at all.
    Rather than risk being trapped in a marriage that would make them both miserable, they agree to a different wager: if Damen wins the race, Laurent will let Kastor go, but if he loses, Damen will have to stay in Arles for a year, doing Laurent’s bidding.

    Summary

    Damianos is a demigod, the son of the king of Akielos and the goddess of strength, bravery, and victory, who wanders the land offering his strength to people in need of help. When the king of Vere calls his aid for dealing with a beast that supposedly devours children, he is taken to a cave on the outskirts of the city, where the monster lives.
    But he doesn't find a monster.
    He finds something--someone--sweet and sharp and protective who harbors a great and terrible burden...

    Summary

    Since his brother's death, Laurent has become a recluse and shunned public appearances. Auguste was the prince beloved by the nation, but now Laurent is the only prince Vere has and the country sees him as irresponsible, unsuitable, and unpleasant.

    Now, to prevent the council removing him from the royal line and all control of the country being transferred to his uncle, Laurent has to play along with his uncle's scheme and become The Bachelor to gain the public's affection and a husband he does not want.

    Laurent knows his uncle intends for his unpleasant personality to ensure the country hates him and he is certain the Regent has men planted in the contestants as backup plans should Laurent fail to destroy the country's hopes and dreams of a royal wedding.

    There's no contestant Laurent is less eager to see than Prince Damen of Akielos who had a private less than pleasant past with Auguste and surely was cast because of it. But if Laurent is going to make it through this, he is going to have to pretend to play nice instead of fracturing the already fragile peace between Vere and Akielos and he's going to have to make an alliance with Damen off camera for the best interest of both of their countries.
