SHE HAD BEEN PROMISED TO THE PRINCE… BUT IT WAS HIS ILLEGITIMATE BROTHER WHO ASKED FOR HER HAND

SHE HAD BEEN PROMISED TO THE PRINCE… BUT IT WAS HIS ILLEGITIMATE BROTHER WHO ASKED FOR HER HAND. England, 1705. In the royal palace of London, young Isabella is bound by duty to marry Prince Alexander, heir to the throne. For years, her fate has been sealed, whispered about in corridors of power and celebrated as a union that would strengthen the crown. Yet behind the velvet curtains, another story waits to erupt. Alexander’s half-brother, Rafael — the illegitimate son, hidden in the shadows of scandal — dares to step forward. Shunned by the court and denied the privileges of his bloodline, he carries a forbidden passion that defies every law of honor. With one reckless gesture, he asks for Isabella’s hand. The court gasps. What should have been a triumph turns into humiliation and chaos. Torn between the crown and her heart, Isabella must choose between the throne promised to her and the dangerous love that could destroy everything she has ever known. But in a palace where secrets can topple empires, will love be strong enough to survive betrayal, envy, and the wrath of a prince scorned?
