Notes

Princess Annika has lived a life of comfort, but no amount of luxuries can change the fact that her life isn't her own to control. Soon she will be forced, by her father, into a loveless marriage, with a duke called Nickolas, for political gain. Meanwhile, miles away, small comforts are few and far between for Lennox, living with his banished clam, the Dahrainians. Lennox has devoted his whole life to helping his people try to take back the throne from Princess Annika's father. But then Annika and Lennox's worlds collide. And when love, against all odds, finds them both, they are bound by its call. They can't possibly be together -- but the irresistible thrum of a thousand heartbeats won't let them be apart.
